Henry Alexander "Bert" Rapiport (30 September 1865 – 30 December 1913) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Fitzroy Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and South Adelaide and West Adelaide Football Clubs in the South Australian Football Association (SAFA).
In 2015, it was discovered that Rapiport was Jewish, making him the first and one of few Jews to have played senior VFL/AFL football.[1]
