Mitchell Thorp (born 25 December 1988), better known as Mitch Thorp, is an Australian rules football player who played for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Thorp was a key position player, and was taken by Hawthorn at pick six in front of Joel Selwood 2006 National Draft.

Thorp debuted against Richmond in round 15 and after a large media buildup he played a promising game, including kicking a goal. An injury from that game meant he was unable to play the following week.

Called in as a late replacement, Thorp played his second game against Sydney in round 2, 2009.

Thorp had surgery to remove a bone fragment and have a pin inserted in his foot. Thorp would take at least three months to recover from a broken sesamoid bone in his left foot. The injury ruled Thorp out for the rest of the 2009 season.^[1]

Thorp was delisted by the Hawthorn Football club on 28 October 2009 after no club showed interest in him during the AFL trade week.^[2] He later entered the National Draft, but was unable to be drafted by a club.

Post AFL

In 2010 Thorp played as a forward for Werribee Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL). In a match for Weribee against the Coburg Tigers, Thorp ran into, and knocked out, former Richmond defender Graham Polak.

In 2011, he returned to play football in Tasmania for the South Launceston Football Club.

He has been appointed playing coach of South Launceston for the 2012 season.^[3]

In 2013 he became the youngest player to captain/coach a side in Tasmanian Football to a Premiership
