Lisa Whiteley (born 17 January 1993) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for Adelaide in the AFL Women's (AFLW). Whiteley was a teacher at Aldinga Beach B-7 Primary School as a PE Teacher before being drafted to Greater Western Sydney.[citation needed] Whiteley grew up in Adelaide's southern suburbs. She began playing football for the Port Adelaide Women's Football Club in 2011 before turning her attention to netball with the Woods Panthers.[citation needed]

She returned to football with Morphettville Park in 2017.[1] in 2018 she kicked 17 goals in 13 games for the club.[2] Whiteley also played for South Adelaide in their 2018 premiership season in the SANFL Women's, and was ranked among their best in the grand final.[2]

She also played netball for Goolwa in 2017 & 2018, helping the club to consecutive Grand Finals playing predominantly as wing defence.[3]

Whiteley was selected by GWS with pick 54 in the 2018 national draft. Giving up a full-time teaching contract, she moved to Sydney and debuted in round 6 against Adelaide at Unley Oval.[4]

At the conclusion of the season, Whiteley was delisted by GWS.[5] Whitely was then redrafted by the Giants with their final pick (99) in the 2019 AFLW Draft after a strong winter.

In 2020 she was traded to Adelaide ahead of the 2021 AFL Women's season.[6]
