Luke Webster (born 25 May 1982) is a midfielder or defender for the Fremantle Dockers in the AFL. He was drafted to Fremantle as the first selection in the 2001 AFL Rookie Draft and was elevated to the senior list during the 2003 season following an outstanding year for East Perth which included being awarded the Simpson Medal as the best player for Western Australia in the state game against South Australia.
As a junior he captained the Western Australian Under 18s team in the 2000 national championships and played for the East Perth Football Club in the WAFL, including their 2001 premiership team.
Webster's career has been plagued by injury, having three knee reconstructions in four years. He first injured his left knee during the first game of the Under 18s carnival and had to undergo a knee reconstruction which put him out of the remainder of the 2000 season. In 2002, after showing promising form in the pre-season games for Fremantle he suffered another injury to the left knee requiring a second knee reconstruction in a practice match against Collingwood at Fremantle Oval. A week after being one of Fremantle's best players in their first ever final in 2003, he damaged his right anterior cruciate ligament playing for East Perth in the WAFL preliminary final. He returned to the AFL for Round 21, 2004 and played the last two games of the season. After being in and out of the Fremantle team for the next 3 years, Webster injured his left knee again early in the 2008 season whilst playing for East Perth.
Webster underwent a knee reconstruction via the controversial method of using a synthetic ligament instead of the body's own tissue with a view to an earlier than anticipated return in Season 2008.
Webster wore guernsey number 37 in his debut season, before switching to the number 1 jumper in 2004. He is 185cm tall and weighs 86kg. Webster's brother Ryan, father Ron and grandfather Ray also all played league football for East Perth. Ron Webster, who died in January 2006, was also the CEO of the Western Australian Amateur Football League.
