Heath Chapman (born 31 January 2002) is an Australian rules football player who plays for the Fremantle Dockers in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Chapman played junior football for the Joondalup Kinross Junior Football Club and attended Prendiville Catholic College.[1] He played for West Perth in the West Australian Football League. Known for his intercept marking skills[2] and speed, Chapman ran the fastest 2 km time trial at the 2020 WA draft combine testing.[3]
Chapman made his AFL debut in the second round of the 2021 AFL season in Fremantle's win over Greater Western Sydney.[4] Round one of the 2022 AFL season versus Adelaide saw Chapman receive much praise for his 'game-winning Intercept play' in which he spoiled an opponent's kick on the goal line conceding no score with just seven seconds left in the match. With just a point the difference had the ball been rushed through for a behind the game would have been a draw.[5] Chapman received a 2022 AFL Rising Star nomination for his performance in round 8 against North Melbourne at Optus Stadium.[6] Chapman finished the home-and-away season having played fifteen games, and featured in both of Fremantle's finals appearances.
Chapman played in Fremantle's first three game of the 2023 AFL season, but an injury sustained during the Western Derby saw him ruled out for the rest of the year.[7] Heath returned to the Fremantle line-up in round seven of the 2024 AFL season against the Western Bulldogs.[8]
