Tom Cochrane (born 27 January 2006) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Cochrane grew up in South Australia and played junior football for Central District in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). He performed strongly in the SANFL under-18s, including a notable game in the 2024 grand final where he collected 22 disposals and kicked a goal.
He is the son of former AFL player Stuart Cochrane, who played for North Melbourne and Port Adelaide. However, Tom was not eligible for a father-son draft selection because his father did not meet the required number of games.
Cochrane was selected by Port Adelaide with pick 13 in the 2024 AFL rookie draft.
He made his AFL debut in Round 3 of the 2025 season against Essendon at Adelaide Oval. His debut was notable as he became the first player with Tourette syndrome to play in the AFL. Cochrane was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at age nine and has spoken openly about managing the condition with support and treatment.
