Ross Funcke (born 16 November 1977) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for Richmond and Melbourne in the AFL, North Ballarat in the VFL and Port Adelaide in the SANFL.
After playing TAC Cup for the Ballarat Rebels, Funcke was drafted by Richmond in 1994. He made his debut during the 1996 season and played 27 games for the Tigers, generally off a half-back flank, before being delisted at the end of 1999. Funcke then joined North Ballarat in the VFL, and performed well enough in his one season with the Roosters to be handed an AFL lifeline by Melbourne. He spent two seasons with the Demons, playing 13 senior games.
After being delisted by Melbourne Funcke moved to South Australia, playing three seasons for Port Adelaide, before returning to Victoria and joining Donald in the North Central Football League as player-coach. He gave up his coaching duties after the 2009 season but played on with Donald until 2017.
