Rostyn John Griffiths (born 10 March 1988) is a professional soccer player who plays as a defender or defensive midfielder for NPL Western Australia club Balcatta Etna. Born in England, he represented Australia at youth level.

Griffiths joined Mumbai City from fellow City Football Group side and A-League outfit Melbourne City FC. The experienced Griffiths won the A-League Premiers Plate and Championship double in the 2020/21 season and also featured in the club's debut continental campaign at the 2022 AFC Champions League, before getting his hands on a second consecutive Premiers Plate in the 2021/22 season.

Griffiths is a former captain of A-League club Perth Glory. In August 2017 it was announced that Griffiths had signed a lucrative deal as a defensive midfielder for Uzbekistan giants Pakhtakor Tashkent in the Uzbek League.

Griffiths ranks amongst the highest-priced signings in A-League history, operating as a defensive midfielder. His career in the league includes a consistent role as a prominent player. He is recognized for disrupting the opposition's attacking phases and serving as a primary link in his team's possession buildup.

Griffiths starred for Central Coast Mariners from 2010 until he moved to Chinese club Guangzhou R&F in 2012. That departure attracted a $1.3 million transfer fee which remains an A-League record.

Born in Stoke-on-Trent, England, Griffiths started his youth career with Australian club ECU Joondalup before moving to England to play for Blackburn Rovers where he never made a senior appearance but during the time he spent at Blackburn he joined Gretna on loan in January 2008. where he made his debut for the side against Heart of Midlothian in February.

He signed a one-year deal with Blackburn in January 2008 and was sent on loan to Accrington Stanley for the remainder of his contract.

On 3 February 2009, he was signed as an injury replacement player by A-League club Adelaide United. With the initial agreement only covering a four-week stint, there is an option to extend that to a two-year contract. However, it is a permanent deal, and not a loan.
