Nick Haynes (born 18 May 1992) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was drafted by Greater Western Sydney in the 2011 national draft with pick seven and played with them from 2012 to 2024. Haynes made his debut in round 10, 2012, against Geelong at Kardinia Park. He was part of the Giants' inaugural list in the AFL competition. He plays as a hybrid defender, adept at directly defending small forwards, taking intercepting marks and rebounding from defensive fifty. He has also played up the field as a wingman. He was awarded an All-Australian selection in 2020 and won the Kevin Sheedy Medal in the same year.
