The 1928 VFL season was the 32nd season of the Victorian Football League (VFL), the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in Victoria. The season featured twelve clubs and ran from 21 April to 29 September, comprising an 18-match home-and-away season followed by a four-week finals series featuring the top four clubs.

Collingwood won the premiership, defeating Richmond by 33 points in the 1928 VFL grand final; it was Collingwood's second consecutive premiership and seventh VFL premiership overall. Collingwood also won the minor premiership by finishing atop the home-and-away ladder with a 15–3 win–loss record. Melbourne's Ivor Warne-Smith won his second Brownlow Medal as the league's best and fairest player, and Collingwood's Gordon Coventry won his third consecutive leading goalkicker medal as the league's leading goalkicker.
