Wayne Slattery is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for South Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) and St Kilda Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Slattery debuted with South Adelaide in 1977 as a sixteen-year-old[1] and played in the 1979 SANFL Grand Final, which South Adelaide lost to Port Adelaide Football Club. VFL club St Kilda recruited him for the 1982 season but injuries restricted Slattery to 11 games.
