Samuel Weideman (born 26 June 1997) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne and Essendon in the Australian Football League (AFL). A key forward, Weideman is 1.96 metres (6 ft 5 in) tall and weighs 97 kilograms (214 lb). He played top-level football early, playing in the TAC Cup as a bottom-aged player. His achievements as a junior included two best and fairest awards and national representation. Even though an ankle injury forced him to miss the majority of his final year of junior football, he was drafted by Melbourne with the ninth selection in the 2015 AFL draft. He made his AFL debut in 2016, making him a third-generation footballer, whereby he is the grandson of the Collingwood Football Club's 1958 premiership captain, Murray Weideman, and the son of former Collingwood player, Mark Weideman.
