This is a list of people who coached the Fitzroy Football Club in a senior Australian Football League (AFL) game.
 Playing the sport of Australian rules football, the Fitzroy Football Club was formed in September 1883, and began playing in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) the following season.
 Originally based at the Brunswick Street Oval, the club won its first VFA premiership in 1895, but quit the league two years later to join the newly formed Victorian Football League (VFL).
 Fitzroy won consecutive VFL premierships between 1898 and 1899 and between 1904 and 1905.
 Prior to the 1911 season, there was no official position of coach.
 Rather, tactics and positioning were formulating by senior players, including club captains, and selectors.
 Former player Geoff Moriarty was appointed the club's inaugural coach in 1911, but was replaced by Percy Parratt in 1913, who acted as playing coach.
 Further premierships were won under Parratt in 1913 and George Holden in 1916, with Vic Belcher captain-coaching the club to the 1922 premiership.
 Up until the end of the Second World War, the position of coach was almost always filled by the current captain or an ex-Fitzroy player.
 Frank Maher, an ex-Essendon player, coached the club in 1932 and 1933, but was followed by several one-season coaches.
 Fitzroy were extremely unsuccessful at this point in time, and did not make the finals between 1924 and 1943, when captain Fred Hughson was appointed coach.
 The club's eighth and last VFL premiership came in 1944, under Hughson.
 A gradual movement towards non-playing coaches came after the Second World War.
 Bill Stephen, Fitzroy's longest-serving coach, coached the club on three separate occasions – from 1955 to 1957, 1965 to 1970, and 1979 to 1980 – for a total of 212 games.
 Fitzroy's last period of success came in the 1980s, with the club making the finals on five separate occasions between 1979 and 1986.
 The club merged with the Brisbane Bears to form the Brisbane Lions at the conclusion of the 1996 season, having gone through three coaches in its final two seasons, finishing last in each.
The Fitzroy Football Club, nicknamed the Lions or the Roys, is an Australian rules football club formed in 1883 to represent the inner-Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy, Victoria and was a foundation member club of the Victorian Football League (now the Australian Football League) on its inception in 1897.
 The club experienced some early success in the league and was the first club to win a VFL Grand Final.
 It also achieved a total of eight VFL premierships between 1898 and 1944, and more recently two VAFA promotions in 2009 (-D Division) and 2012 (-C Division).
Ernest Merrett Jenkins (4 October 1879 – 21 December 1927) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Fitzroy Football Club, coach of the Richmond Football Club and an umpire in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
 Jenkins was uncle of Fitzroy player Horrie Dawson.
The North Fitzroy Kangaroos was a proposed professional Australian rules football club which was to have formed from the merger between the Fitzroy Football Club and the North Melbourne Football Club, and was to have competed in the Australian Football League from 1997 onwards.
 The merger was arranged in May 1996 to avert the imminent financial collapse of Fitzroy, but was abandoned within two months of its announcement following clashes of interest from multiple parties.
 The abandonment resulted in North Melbourne remaining as a stand-alone club as it is today, and the league administrators forcing Fitzroy, then nicknamed as the 'Lions', to relocate to Brisbane and merge with the Brisbane Football Club to form what is now the Brisbane Lions Football Club.
Fred Keays (12 July 1898 (WW1 birth record) 1900 (WW2 birth record) – 24 June 1983) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy (1919-1921) and Collingwood (in the 1922 VFL season) in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
 After his playing career Fred competed in the 1927 Stawell Gift won by his rival at that time, Tom Miles.
 He was a trainer and committee member for Fitzroy spanning 2 decades until the Second World War.
 He served for a second time in WW2 having previously served and twice been wounded as a 16-year-old ANZAC in WW1.
 His eldest son, Desmond Charles Keays enlisted in 1941, was reported as missing in July 1942 and died in 1945 as a POW at Sandakan camp.
 Desmond is also remembered for paying the ultimate price for his country on the Fitzroy Football Club website – Fitzroy Football Club Anzac Day Tribute.
Peter Burke (born 24 May 1964) is a former Australian rules footballer who represented the Fitzroy Football Club and the Richmond Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1980s.
 Burke played in Fitzroy's 1982 Under 19's premiership side, one of the last premierships in any form won by the club before making his debut in 1984.
Walter Henry "Wally" Naismith (31 May 1881 – 9 January 1954) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Fitzroy Football Club and Melbourne Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
 He was the twin brother of Fitzroy player Charlie Naismith.
Ashley Fernee (born 24 June 1977) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the Australian Football League (AFL).
 He was selected for the Adelaide Football Club in the 1995 draft, having previously played with the Calder Cannons.
 Fernee only played two games for the Adelaide Football Club in 1996, debuting against Fitzroy Football Club in round 17.
 In spite of those two games, he was not selected to play in 1997, and in 1998 things were not looking promising, with Michelangelo Rucci stating that the "wait will go on unless a long injury list strikes again".
 Fernee did not play in 1998, and he was delisted by the Adelaide Football Club in October of that year.
 He played for the SANFL team, South Adelaide Football Club, in 1999, and nominated for the AFL draft at the end of the season.
 Unsuccessful, Fernee left Adelaide to return to Victoria, where he played for the East Keilor Football Club.
The WT Peterson Community Oval, best known as the Brunswick Street Oval and also as the Fitzroy Cricket Ground, is a cricket and Australian rules football ground located in Edinburgh Gardens in Fitzroy North, Victoria.
 The ground was the home of Fitzroy Football Club in the Victorian Football Association from 1883 to 1897, and the home of the club in the Victorian Football League from 1897 until 1966, with the last game being played there on Saturday 20 August 1966 against St Kilda , a game which the Lions lost by 84 points.
 Fitzroy then moved to Princes Park sharing the ground with Carlton Football Club between 1967 and 1969 before playing its home games at the Junction Oval in St Kilda from 1970.
