Jesse Tawhiao-Wardlaw (born 13 January 2000 in New Zealand[2]), usually known as Jesse Wardlaw, is an Australian rules footballer playing for Brisbane in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW). She was playing for Coorparoo in the AFL Queensland Women's League when she was drafted[1] by Brisbane with the 61st pick in the 2018 AFL Women's draft.

Wardlaw grew up in Ashburton, New Zealand to an Aucklander mother and Christchurch father.[2] She made her debut in the Lions' round 1 game against Greater Western Sydney at Moreton Bay Central Sports Complex on 3 February 2019.[3]

She was nominated for the AFLW Rising Star Award in Round 2, 2020, after kicking three goals in the Lions' win over Geelong. Wardlaw achieved selection in Champion Data's 2021 AFLW All-Star stats team, after coming runner up in the league for average marks inside 50 in the 2021 AFL Women's season, totalling 2.0 a game.[4]

Wardlaw was celebrated by AFL Queensland on International Women's Day 2020 as a cross-coder who plays multiple sports.[5]
