Jock Doherty (born 3 October 1894) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne and North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Doherty, who was blind in one eye, played as a rover in the South Melbourne team which won the 1918 VFL Grand Final.[1]
Having earlier been a North Melbourne junior, Doherty returned to the club as they prepared for their inaugural VFL season in 1925. He participated in their first ever league game, kicking two goals to help North Melbourne defeat Geelong by eight points.[2] Out of all North Melbourne players that day he was the second most experienced and one of just four footballers who had previously played VFL football.[3]
