Wyn Murray (4 July 1908 – 21 December 1947) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

After playing at South Bendigo for two seasons,[1] Murray came to Melbourne and gave the club solid service in six seasons. Murray, a left footer, missed just one game in his first two years with the club but was in and out of the side after that.[2] A half back flanker, he represented the VFL against South Australia in 1933.[3]

In 1935, Murray joined Preston[1] and won their best player award in 1937.[4] He retired from the game that season,[1][5] but returned in 1938 when appointed captain-coach for the year.[6]

As football was not a professional sport in the 1930s, Murray had a career as a police officer in Brunswick.[1] His daughter, Patricia Joan, was a winner of the Australian Dancing Championship many times and also represented Australia overseas, with her husband, Ron Shelton[7]
