Jack Joseph "Dookie" McKenzie (12 November 1882 – 21 March 1946) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon and Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

McKenzie originally played for Brunswick in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) and joined Essendon in 1901, winning a premiership in his first season. He played for Essendon in 1901 and 1902. He then moved to Western Australia and spent a year playing in the Western Australian Goldfields Football Association with the White Feather Football Club. In 1904 he returned to Essendon and by 1906 he was the captain. For his efforts during the 1906 season he was Essendon's 'Best and Fairest' winner in what would be his last season for the Bombers. He finished his career with Essendon having played 81 games and kicking 90 goals playing as a ruckman.

In 1907 season he became captain-coach of Essendon Association in the VFA before taking on the same role at his original club Brunswick from 1908 to 1914. He led the Brunswick to a premiership the following season in 1909.

He returned to the VFL for just one season in 1915, playing this time with Melbourne. As captain-coach he helped them reach the finals for the first time in fifteen years, becoming one of a select few players to captain two different clubs in finals.

He gained his nickname from his favourite player as a youth, Alex "Dookie" McKenzie, a Carlton and Melbourne player of the 1880s and '90s.
