Noel Mugavin (born 28 June 1956 in Warrnambool) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy and Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Mugavin starred as a junior, catching the eyes of VFL scouts at an early age. His flowing locks became a trademark throughout his famous career to complement his silky skills.

Mugavin's career was cut short when he suffered a spleen injury in 1982, prompting him to retire from the highest level. Mugavin returned to the Hampden Football League in a coaching role.

He currently coaches players at South Warrnambool Football Club, and teaches students at Emmanuel College Warrnambool. He is also currently involved with greyhound racing.^[1]

His nephew is Brisbane Lions centre half forward Jonathan Brown and his youngest son Jamie, plies his trade at an amateur level in Melbourne.
