Julian Huxley (born 3 August 1979 in Sydney) is an Australian rugby union footballer. Playing for a Lindfield club in his youth, Huxley was educated at Sydney Grammar School and The King's School, Sydney and went on to play for the Wests club side. Huxley has previously appeared for the under-19, under-21 and 'A' Australia sides, he also played for the Australian sevens team at one point.

Huxley made his Super 12 (now, Super 14) debut against the ACT Brumbies in 2003 for the Queensland Reds. He prospered further that year at the Reds, going on to be awarded the Pilecki Medal, which is presented to the Players Player of the Year at the Reds. He went onto New Zealand at the end of 2004 to play for NPC side Northland where he was a stand out player during their campaign.

He returned to Super rugby in 2005, and he subsequently played every match of the season. After the 2006 regular season finished, the Reds announced in late May that Huxley has signed with the Brumbies, most likely for two seasons.

On 4 March 2008, Brumbies officials announced that Huxley is suffering from a benign brain tumour and will likely require surgery.cite news |title=Wallaby diagnosed with brain tumour |url=http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23317343-601,00.html |publisher=The Australian |date=2008-03-04 |accessdate=2008-03-04 ] Huxley has since had the operation, which was successful, and is on the road to recovery.
