Nathan Charles Buckley (born 26 July 1972) is a former professional Australian rules football player, commentator and coach. He is listed by journalist Mike Sheahan as one of the top 50 players of all time. Buckley won the inaugural Rising Star Award, in 1993, then went on to become one of the game's elite, captaining Collingwood between 1999 and 2007, winning the Norm Smith Medal for best player afield in the 2002 Grand Final despite playing in the losing team, only the third player in history to do so, the Brownlow Medal in 2003, winning Collingwood's Best and Fairest award, the Copeland Trophy, six times and named in the Collingwood Team of the Century. Buckley was selected in the All-Australian Team seven times and captained the Australian international rules football team against Ireland.
In 2004 Buckley became an original inductee into the Collingwood Hall of Fame. He retired at the conclusion of the 2007 AFL season before serving as Collingwood assistant coach for seasons 2010 (including being assistant coach in the 2010 premiership team) and 2011, and as senior coach in 2012 which he served until stepping down mid-way through the 2021 maintaining an overall positive career coaching record.
