Jarrad Waite (born February 4, 1983) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

He was recruited as the number 46 draft pick in the 2001 AFL Draft from Benalla under the father-son selection rule (he is the son of former Carlton player Vin Waite.) He made his debut for the Carlton Football Club in Round 1, 2003 against the Sydney Swans.

Jarrad has made his stance in the AFL as a very prominent forward. He kicked 36 goals in the 2005 season, finishing second behind Brendan Fevola for the club. He is considered by many to be the future of the club, however he has been struck down by recurring injuries for the 2006 season. His 2006 tally of 18-16 from thirteen games is promising, but his set-shot accuracy requires improvement.
