Jude Bolton (born 15 March 1980) is an Australian rules football player with the Sydney Swans of the AFL, and is known as "Hey Jude" by some fans and portions of the media, especially 3AW commentators.
Jude attended St Bernard's College Essendon, a school renowned for its sporting prowess. He played football for the school and for the Calder Cannons Under 18s team, before being selected as the 8th pick in the 1998 National Draft. He played his first senior game for Sydney against Carlton in round 12 of the 1999 season and received a Rising Star Award nomination the following year. By 2001, he was a regular member of the team.
He is noted for his hardness at the ball in and under packs, with large numbers of tackles and hard ball gets. In 2005, the season in which the Swans won their first premiership in 72 years using a tough man-on-man style of play, Jude made 122 tackles, the 2nd highest for the club and 3rd in the AFL.
He represented Australia in the International Rules series in 2004.
