Nathan Cleary (born 14 November 1997) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who captains and plays as a halfback for the Penrith Panthers in the National Rugby League and plays for NSW Blues in State of Origin. Widely considered one of the best players in the modern era, Cleary was halfback in five consecutive grand finals from 2020-2024. He was co-captain in four straight grand finals wins (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024). He received the Clive Churchill Medal in 2021 and 2023, as well as winning Dally M Halfback of The Year in both 2020 and 2021. He also vice-captained NSW from 2020-2023.

Cleary is the son of coach and former professional rugby league footballer Ivan Cleary who coaches him at the Penrith Panthers.
Cleary was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
He spent a number of his childhood years living in Auckland, New Zealand while his father was playing for, and later coaching, the New Zealand Warriors. He attended Sacred Heart College, Auckland for two years and, having grown up playing soccer, Cleary switched to rugby league during his pre-teens, playing at a junior level for the Mount Albert Lions in Auckland and the Penrith Brothers in Sydney. He completed his HSC while attending St Dominic's College, Penrith in 2015, where he was a prefect.
Cleary is of Croatian and Ukrainian descent. He is the nephew of Josh Stuart and Jason Death.
Cleary progressed through the Penrith club's junior system, playing in their Harold Matthews Cup (under 16) and S. G. Ball Cup (under 18) teams, the latter of which he captained in 2015.
He appeared for the Windsor Wolves in the Ron Massey Cup and Sydney Shield in a handful of games, before being called into Penrith's National Youth Competition (under 20) squad mid-season. Cleary was unavailable to play in Penrith's 2015 NYC Grand Final winning team due to his selection in the Australian Schoolboys team, whom he captained during their two match series against New Zealand under-18s. Cleary played 20 games, scoring 11 tries and kicking 109 goals for 262 points in his U20s career from 2015 to 2016.
