Len Webster (26 December 1906 – 7 October 1985) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Webster, a fireman by profession, was a ruckman for Blackwood Forest and Loch before joining Essendon.[1]

He had an early setback in 1930 when he required surgery to remove cartilage in his knee but recovered well enough to play 15 of a possible 18 games in 1931.[2]

Essendon appointed him vice-captain in 1935 and the following season he represented Victoria for a second time, having previously played for his state in 1929.[1] He was captain of Essendon for the entire 1938 VFL season.[3]

Despite making 145 appearances for Essendon, Webster never played in a single final.[2]
