The 1999 AFL draft consisted of a pre-season draft, a national draft, a trade period, a rookie draft and rookie elevation. The AFL draft is the annual draft of talented players by Australian rules football teams that participate in the main competition of that sport, the Australian Football League.
In 1999 there were 93 picks to be drafted between 16 teams in the national draft. The Collingwood Magpies received the first pick in the national draft after finishing on the bottom of the ladder during the 1999 AFL season.
In addition to the trades, Melbourne's first round draft pick (No. 5) was given to, as part of penalties levied against Melbourne for breaches of the salary cap related to its recruitment of Jeff White from Fremantle two years earlier. Melbourne was also fined $600,000 and stripped of draft picks in the 2000 AFL draft.
