Erin McKinnon (born 15 December 1998) is an Australian rules footballer playing for St Kilda in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW). She previously played for Greater Western Sydney.
McKinnon was born in Melbourne, Victoria before moving to Sydney's North Shore at a young age playing soccer, netball and basketball there.[1] She gained an interest in the sport after watching her brother play Auskick. When the club advertised for female players she joined at age 12, but there were not enough players to field a team. McKinnon was part of the first Mosman Girls Youth team and after a few seens drew the attention of local recruiters due to height and athletic ability.[2]
McKinnon was drafted by Greater Western Sydney with the club's sixth selection and the forty eighth overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[3] She made her debut in Round 1, 2017, in the club's inaugural match against at Thebarton Oval.[4]
In June 2022, after requesting to leave Greater Western Sydney, she was traded to St Kilda.[5]
