Neil Chandler (6 May 1949 – 24 June 2022)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton and St Kilda in the VFL.
Chandler played with Carlton during a successful era for the club and was a member of three premiership teams. He was a reserve in their 1968 and 1970 flags but earned a starting spot in 1972, playing on a half forward flank. Midway into the 1974 season he crossed to St Kilda before retiring at the end of the year.
