Sean Rusling (born October 6, 1986) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
A tall forward from West Adelaide, Rusling was drafted by the Magpies in the 2004 National Draft in the second round. Making his debut half-way through his first season, 2005, he showed signs of extraordinary pace and jumping ability which proved problems to his opponents inside the forward 50. A shoulder injury ended his season, requiring surgery. He reinjured the shoulder in a pre-season practice match. This delayed his start to the 2006 season; coming back via the VFL, he showed good form. He made a return in Round 14, but would miss the next week with a leg injury. He played the last four games of the season showing quick pace out of the goalsquare and a great mark and kick. He kicked 3 goals in a half of against Port Adelaide.
