Liam Mark Fulton (born August 8, 1984 in Westmead, New South Wales) is an Australian rugby league player for the Wests Tigers in the National Rugby League competition. His position of choice is at Lock. He attended Westfield Sports High School and captained the SG Ball team to victory in the Grand Final in 2002 whilst playing for the Western Suburbs Magpies. He again tasted Grand Final success in 2005 when the Wests Tigers defeated the North Queensland Cowboys to win the club's first NRL premiership. However this early success in his career has been tempered with a serious shoulder injury in the opening game of the 2006 season, which ruled out the lightweight backrower from playing for the whole year. Whilst in his first year of the Top grade 2003 was rumoured to dating swim star Jodie Henry.

In late 2005, Liam was one of 12 of the hottest players in the NRL that posed for the League Of Their Own 2006 calendar that was produced in the style of the famous Dieux du Stade calendars to raise money for the Koori Kids foundation. In 2006, Liam also appeared in the Naked Rugby League 2007-08 charity calendar, with its sales to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation of Australia.

Liam is also one of the NRL's most colourful characters with his boyish and cheeky nature, often playing pranks on his fellow teammates or on various media personalities.
