Max Kenneth Hudghton (born 2 September 1976 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Selected at pick 15 in the 1996 AFL Draft, Hudghton was a debutant who made his name in the St Kilda Football Club's 1997 season (when the team ultimately lost the Grand Final).
Hudghton is a versatile and tall defender who can play on forwards of nearly any size. His defensive skills have been an important part of the St Kilda team over the years, particularly at the moment, with inexperienced defenders such as Sam Fisher and Sam Gilbert in the Saints' back half.
Of the regular fullbacks in 2006, Hudghton conceded the least amount of goals. While his disposals average of 10 was below average for a defender, Hudghton's disposal efficiency of 90% was elite. With only 32 marks from opposition kicks in the past two years, he prefers to spoil and in 2006 he effected the fourth most spoils in the league.
In 2008 Hudghton shutdown key players such as Matthew Lloyd, Brendan Fevola and Barry Hall in the first five games of the season.
