Vernon Deacon (1908 – 11 September 1965) was an Australian rugby league player.
Deacon was born in the town of Narromine and attended the nearby Dubbo High School, where he played on the same school rugby league side as future Wallabies representative Ron Walden.[1]
A utility back, Deacon was a five-eighth in his first two seasons with University, then in 1928 began playing as both a fullback and winger. It was as a fullback that he represented NSW City against NSW Country in 1928.[2] He competed for Balmain in the 1929 NSWRFL season, before moving to Kenebri to teach.[3]
