Wayne Blackwell (born 30 August 1960) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the VFL during the 1980s.

Born in England, Wayne Blackwell played his early football in Western Australia and he was a centreman in Claremont's 1981 premiership team. After 112 WANFL games, some as vice-captain, he crossed to Carlton where he was used mostly on the wing and was a member of the side which lost the 1986 VFL Grand Final. Also in 1986 he finished third in the 'Best and Fairest' for Carlton. He missed out on playing in their 1987 premiership team due to a knee injury, while a groin injury would force him to retire in 1990.

At interstate level Blackwell was a regular for Western Australia throughout the 1980s and made a total of eight appearances. He is often remembered for a smother in his state's three point win over Victoria at Subiaco in 1986 when he prevented Brian Royal from kicking the winning goal.

His son Luke Blackwell arrived at Carlton under the father-son rule and made his debut in 2006.
