Joel Western (born 12 October 2002) is an Australian rules football player who plays for Fremantle in the Australian Football League (AFL).

A member of Fremantle's Next Generation Academy (NGA), as his mother was born in Singapore,[1] Western was drafted with the 54th selection in the 2020 national draft, when Fremantle matched the Western Bulldogs's bid.[2] He had played junior football for Claremont and represented Western Australia at Under 18 level. His father, John, also played football for Subiaco in the 1980s.

He was selected to make his AFL debut for Fremantle in round 13 of the 2021 AFL season against Gold Coast, alongside fellow 2020 draftee and NGA member, Brandon Walker.[3]
