Joel Hamling (born 9 April 1993) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League (AFL). Hamling previously played for the Western Bulldogs from 2015 to 2016 and Fremantle between 2017 and 2023, after initially being drafted to Geelong in the 2011 AFL draft.

He was born in Denmark, Western Australia, but was brought up in Broome. After playing colts for Claremont in the WAFL, he was recruited by the Geelong Football Club with pick 32 in the 2011 national draft. After three years with Geelong without playing a senior match, he joined the Western Bulldogs as a delisted free agent at the end of the 2014 season. Hamling made his debut in round 9, 2015, against Greater Western Sydney at Etihad Stadium. After winning a premiership with the Western Bulldogs in 2016, he returned home to Western Australia when he was traded to the Fremantle Football Club.

Hamling missed the entire 2020 season due to an ankle injury. Hamling only played one game during the 2021 season after he re-injured the same ankle in round one against Melbourne and had to undergo ankle surgery in July 2021. Hamling made his return in round 2 of the 2022 AFL season during Fremantle's clash against St Kilda.

Following the 2023 AFL season, Hamling signed with the Sydney Swans as an unrestricted free agent.
