The Hawthorn Football Club, nicknamed the Hawks, is a professional Australian rules football club based in Mulgrave, Victoria, that competes in the Australian Football League (AFL). The club was founded in 1902 in the inner-east suburb of Hawthorn, making it the youngest Victorian-based team in the AFL.

Hawthorn is the only club to have won premierships in each decade of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. In total, it has won 13 senior VFL/AFL premierships. The team play in brown-and-gold vertically striped guernseys. The club's Latin motto is spectemur agendo, the English translation being "Let us be judged by our acts."

Upon inception and until 1973, the Hawks played home matches at Glenferrie Oval in Hawthorn; they subsequently shifted home matches to Princes Park in 1974, lasting until 1991 when Hawthorn moved to Waverley Park. Later the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) became the home ground when Waverley was redeveloped. The club moved its training and administration facilities from Glenferrie to Waverley Park in 2006, which by that point was no longer hosting AFL matches, and continues to be based at the park, which is located in an area of the club's major supporter base in Melbourne's outer-eastern region. Since 2007, Hawthorn have played four games a year at their second home ground of York Park in Launceston, Tasmania, with most of the remaining home games usually played at the MCG and one usually played at Marvel Stadium.

Hawthorn also fields a women's team in the AFL Women's competition. It joined the league for its seventh season and played its first game on the 27th of August 2022 at Marvel Stadium. Initial ticket allocations sold out within 24 hours.

Hawthorn first fielded a side in the VFL seconds in 1925, the same year they entered the VFL.

The reserve team's first flag was won in 1958, when they held onto a winning lead by defeating Collingwood by four points. Gary Young kicked four goals, while Elward kicked two. Horace Edmonds was the coach.

In 1959, the reserves side went back-to-back after defeating Fitzroy by 31 points.

The side's third premiership came in 1972, with a team that contained four of the previous years senior premiership players, Geoff Angus, Ken Beck, Michael Porter and Ray Wilson. Up and coming future club champions Michael Moncrieff, Michael Tuck, Kelvin Matthews and Alan Goad were instrumental in the match. The Hawks led all day before Melbourne hit the front with two minutes to go, a late goal to Fitzgerald won the game. Wayne Bevan kicked 4 goals for the winners.

In 1985, the reserves team's fourth and final premiership contained future premiership players in James Morrissey, Greg Dear, Peter Curran, Chris Wittman and Paul Abbott, as well as Hawthorn veterans Peter Knights, Gary Buckenara, Rodney Eade and Colin Robertson, and in his only year at the club, Steve Malaxos. Buckenara kicked 8 goals.

The reserves side's last grand final appearance came in 1997, when the side were defeated by Richmond by 44 points.

Starting in 2000, Hawthorn has been affiliated with the Box Hill Football Club in the Victorian Football League. Under the affiliation, Hawthorn players who are not selected in the AFL can play alongside Box Hill senior players in the VFL competition. The clubs have a strong affiliation, with Box Hill changing its club nickname from Mustangs to Hawks when the sides affiliated. Box Hill has won three premierships since the affiliation began (2001, 2013 and 2018).
