Jason Saddington (born October 23, 1979) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
He was recruited as the number 11 draft pick in the 1997 AFL Draft from Mitcham. He made his AFL debut for the Sydney Swans in Round 1, 1998 against Port Adelaide.
Jason was a consistently good player for the Swans since his debut. However, injuries frequently interrupted his season and lowered his form. He was traded to the Carlton Football Club at the end of the 2005 season.
Ironically, Jason debuted for Carlton against his old club, the Sydney Swans, in Round 3, 2006. He played consecutive six games, scoring two goals, before his season was again ended by injury.
