Kyle Hardingham (born 1 September 1988) is an Australian rules footballer who formerly played for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Hardingham was selected by Essendon with the seventh pick in the 2010 AFL Pre-Season Draft. Originally from East Fremantle in the WAFL, he represented WA in the state game against South Australia in 2009.[1]

Hardingham is described as a "courageous utility that can play almost any position on the ground".[2]

He made his AFL debut against North Melbourne in round 17 of the 2010 AFL season, kicking four goals, helping the Bomber achieve an upset victory by 3 points.[3] The following Friday night, he kicked 2 goals in a win against St Kilda. He managed to kick 2 goals once again in the next game, a 76-point loss to Carlton, although he also kicked 5 behinds as part of the wayward kicking by the entire Essendon team, which managed 9.19 for the night.

Hardingham was delisted at the conclusion of the 2014 AFL season.[4]

On 12 January 2016 Hardingham was named as one of 34 past and present Essendon players found guilty over their use of illegal supplements during the 2012 AFL season. As a result, Hardingham was suspended from playing at all levels for twelve months, effective from November 2015.[5]
