Jake Carlisle (born 1 October 1991) is an Australian rules footballer for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Carlisle was selected by Essendon with the twenty-fourth pick in the 2009 AFL Draft. Like fellow draftee Jake Melksham, Carlisle is a local to the Essendon area. He had previously been playing with the Calder Cannons in the TAC Cup and Craigieburn in the EDFL. He represented Vic Metro in the 2009 AFL National Under 18 Championships and was also part of the Calder Cannons 2009 TAC Cup Premiership winning team.[1]

Carlisle made his AFL debut on 13 August 2010, against Collingwood, a game which the young Essendon team lost by 98 points. Essendon coach Matthew Knights claimed that Carlisle and fellow debutant, Stewart Crameri, will have "come away from [the match] with enormous knowledge of how hard they have to train now and how hard they have to work in the off-season to keep building their football."[2]
