Max Gawn (born 30 December 1991) is an Australian rules footballer for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Gawn was selected with the 34th overall pick in the 2009 AFL Draft by the Melbourne Demons. He was recruited from the Sandringham Dragons. The position of where Gawn was to be taken in the draft was the cause of much speculation due to his almost unique size.^[1]

Gawn, at a height of 208 cm, is the third tallest AFL player, behind Collingwood's ruckman Jarrod Witts, who is 209 cm, and Fremantle's ruckman Aaron Sandilands, who is 211 cm.
