Greg Madigan (born 24 January 1970) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Hawthorn and Fremantle Football Clubs between 1989 and 1997 in the Australian Football League. A centre half-back, he was a member of Hawthorn's 1989 VFL Grand Final winning side, in only his 6th league game. However, in the subsequent years he failed to establish his position in the Hawthorn team, playing ten or less games in each of his six seasons at Hawthorn.
In 1995 he was selected into the inaugural Fremantle Dockers squad with the second selection in the preseason draft. As one of the few players with AFL experience in the new expansion team, he managed the best season of his career, playing in 18 games. He remained with Fremantle for two more seasons, but struggled to keep his place, playing only 4 games in each of 1996 and 1997.
When not playing for Fremantle, he represented East Fremantle in the West Australian Football League.
After his AFl career finished, he joined the Swan Brewery in Perth (owned by Lion Nathan) and has subsequently held many positions including Regional Director for Victoria.
