Jack Hetherington (born 8 June 1996) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who plays as a prop forward for the Melbourne Storm in the National Rugby League (NRL).

He previously played for the Penrith Panthers, New Zealand Warriors, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, and the Newcastle Knights in the NRL.

Hetherington was born in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. He is the grandson of Bill Mullins, son of Brett Hetherington, nephew of Brett Mullins and cousin of Canberra Raiders player James Schiller.

Hetherington played his junior rugby league for the Valentine Devils and Young Cherrypickers.[citation needed]

In 2018, he made his National Rugby League début for Penrith against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks. Hetherington played 13 NRL games in his rookie season, later re-signing with Penrith until the end of the 2021 season.

On 18 June 2020, Hetherington was temporarily released to join the New Zealand Warriors on loan. In round 13 of the 2020 NRL season, Hetherington was placed on report for a dangerous tackle on Manly player Martin Taupau. Hetherington was later suspended for four matches after pleading guilty to the dangerous tackle.

In October 2020, Hetherington was released by Penrith and he signed a contract to join Canterbury.

In round 6 of the 2021 NRL season, Hetherington was sent off after hitting North Queensland player Valentine Holmes around the head with a dangerous high tackle. Canterbury would go on to lose the match 30–18.
