The AFL Rising Star is an Australian rules football award presented annually to the player adjudged the best young player in the Australian Football League (AFL) for the year. The recipient of the AFL Rising Star is awarded the Ron Evans Medal.

At the completion of the regular season one of the nominees is voted the winner by a panel who award votes on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis.[1]
