Jeffrey "Jeff" Cassidy (born 27 September 1956) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Cassidy was a utility, who struggled with injuries during his time at Geelong, particularly with his leg muscles.[2] The Cobram recruit never played more than six games a season in his first four years with Geelong.[3] He finally took the field regularly in 1978, missing just seven games and averaging 16 disposals.[3] In 1979, his penultimate season, he made a further 12 appearances.[3] Despite the fact that Geelong participated in finals football in three of the seasons that he was at Geelong, Cassidy never played a finals game.[3]
He joined East Fremantle in 1981, having previously played with the West Australian Football League club briefly in 1977.[2] Before he retired in 1984, Cassidy would top the goal-kicking for East Fremantle twice.[2]
