The West Australian Football Hall of Fame was created in 2002 to recognise significant contributors to Australian rules football in Western Australia. Candidates are players, coaches, umpires, administrators and media representatives.
The inductees are chosen under guidelines established by the West Australian Football Commission, and a Hall of Fame Selection Committee established in 2003. The first induction into the Hall of Fame took place on 21 March 2004.
