Maurie Hearn (5 December 1912 – 6 December 2004) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne and Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
A follower, Hearn started his career at South Melbourne but due to the team's success over three seasons he only managed 8 games. As a result he moved to Fitzroy during the 1934 season and remained with the club for a decade. He captained the club for the 1942 season and retired in 1944, his last game being Fitzroy's Grand Final win over Richmond. In 1945 he left to captain-coach Williamstown,[1] and he led the club to the VFA premiership in 1945.[2]
