Charles John Luke (22 June 1911 – 1 January 1998) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Luke, a forward, came to Footscray from Phillip Island.[1] He played 13 of his 18 career games in 1937 and kicked at least two goals in each of his home and away season appearances that year.[2] His final season tally, 44 goals, was enough to top Footscray's goal-kicking.[3] He spent much of the 1939 season playing for Yarraville and transferred to Gippsland club Morwell the following year, as captain-coach.[4][5]
