Noel John McMahen (30 October 1926 – 10 July 2022) was Australian rules football player and a coach in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

He played in the Melbourne premiership teams in 1948, 1955 and 1956. He captained Melbourne in his last two years before taking on the captain-coach position of Rochester Football Club in the Bendigo Football League between 1957 and 1961, leading them to premierships in 1958 and 1959[2] and runners up in 1960 and 1961.

When he was appointed to coach South Melbourne in 1962 he became the first full-time VFL coach.[3] He coached South Melbourne for three years.
