Jay W. Viney (born 20 December 1968) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).

Viney played senior football at Sturt before being reunited with his elder brother Todd when Melbourne recruited him in the 1987 VFL Draft.[1]

He found it difficult to put together regular VFL/AFL appearances but he did play in the last 11 home and away games of the 1991 AFL season.[2] However he was then let go by Melbourne and returned to the South Australian National Football League where he captained Sturt in 1993 and 1994. Viney finished his career playing for North Adelaide, a club he was captain of in 1997 and 1998.
