Jack Broadstock (born 1 December 1920, date of death unknown) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1940s.
In just his sixth VFL game, Broadstock became a premiership player when he was the centreman in Richmond's winning 1943 Grand Final team. He played finals football again the following season and kicked three goals in a Semi Final loss to Fitzroy.
Broadstock had started his career at West Adelaide and returned there in 1947. He missed out on playing in their premiership side that year when he was suspended the week before for hacking at Port Adelaide ruckman Bob McLean.
He captain-coached Boulder City to a Goldfields National Football League premiership in 1948, having spent the early part of the season at West Torrens. Broadstock returned to West Torrens the following season and was a losing Grand Finalist. Back at West Adelaide in 1950, he was captain coach for the year before announcing his retirement.
