Jack Elder (1885 - 24 December 1944) was a former Australian rules football umpire who in 1996 was named as the VFL/AFL's Umpire of the Century. He officiated as field umpire in 295 VFL matches (plus 7 as a boundary umpire), including a record 39 Finals and 10 Grand Finals, between 1906-1922. He also held the position of Umpire's Advisor in 1923. In a famous incident in the 1910 VFL Grand Final, a massive brawl broke out between Collingwood and Carlton players during the last quarter. A number of players were felled and four players were reported (the first in Grand Final history), yet the fight kept going. Elder settled matters by blowing his whistle and bouncing the ball. Most of the combatants looked on, stunned, as the game recommenced without them, so they had no option but to forget about the fight.
