Caleb Serong (born 9 February 2001) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for Fremantle in the Australian Football League (AFL). A midfielder known for his ball-winning ability and consistency, Serong has been the co-vice-captain of Fremantle since 2023. He has won two Doig Medals, awarded to the best and fairest Fremantle player, been selected in the All-Australian team twice and won the AFL Rising Star award in 2020.
Serong was selected by Fremantle with the eighth pick of the 2019 draft after captaining Victoria Country and being named MVP of the under-18 championships. He made his debut in Round 4, 2020 and played every game onwards, averaging 17.9 disposals across his first season. Continuing his progression as a midfielder, Serong kicked the 2021 Goal of the Year.
In 2023, Serong won his first Doig Medal with a club record for disposals in a single season and was named in his first All-Australian team the same year. The next year he repeated the same achievements, collecting a second Doig Medal and another All-Australian blazer while he continued to break club records, such as most disposals in a game, when he notched 46 against the Brisbane Lions.
