Wayne Hockley (born 6 September 1978) is an English former professional footballer.

Hockley was born in Paignton, Devon and joined Torquay United as a trainee, having previously played for local side Stoke Gabriel. He made his debut on 15 March 1997, as a substitute for Mark Hawthorne in Torquay's 3-1 defeat away to Scarborough, missing an open goal within a minute of taking to the pitch.[1] He played once more that season, this time as a substitute for Andy McFarlane in Torquay's 2-1 defeat away to Doncaster Rovers and began the following season on a monthly contract.

He left Torquay in September 1997 after manager Kevin Hodges only offered him a further month rather than a longer term contract and rejoined his former club Stoke Gabriel. He was the top scorer for Dartington Sports Club in the 1998-99 season. In March 2000 he was playing for Galmpton United, but by July 2001 was back with Dartington S.C., playing in a friendly against Torquay United in a game in which he was marked by his younger brother Matt, who was also a professional with Torquay United, making over 200 appearances for the club between 2000 and 2008.
