Cain Liddle (born 11 June 1975) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Geelong in the Australian Football League (AFL) in 1994.[1] He was recruited from the Western Jets in the TAC Cup with the 14th selection in the 1994 Pre-season Draft. Liddle is the former chief executive officer of the Carlton Football Club.

After being delisted by Geelong, Liddle was an assistant coach for eight seasons with TAC Cup club the Calder Cannons and also Vic Metro in the national under-18 championships. He completed a Master of Business Administration and, as of 2017, is studying for a doctorate of business. From 2010 to 2017, Liddle was the chief customer officer for the Richmond Football Club. His duties in that role included "ticketing, retail, licensing and corporate revenues" as well as managing Aligned Leisure, a subsidiary health and recreation business. Liddle was appointed CEO of the Carlton Football Club in November 2017.[2][3][4] Liddle was able to grow the Blues' financial arm considerably during his tenure.[5] On 10 September 2021, Liddle parted ways with Carlton after he was sacked from his position as CEO, after an extensive review of the club's football operations due to the club's disappointing 2021 AFL season, where it was determined by the club that the gaps between on and off-field performance were too large for Liddle to maintain his position as CEO.[6] Liddle was then replaced by Brain Cook as Carlton's CEO.[7] [8]
