1944 VFL grand final

The 1944 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Fitzroy Football Club and Richmond Football Club, held at the Junction Oval in Melbourne on 30 September 1944. It was the 46th annual grand final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1944 VFL season.

The match was won by Fitzroy by a margin of 15 points, marking that club's first premiership since 1922, and its eighth (and final) premiership and final grand final appearance. The match attracted 41,000 spectators, down on expectations owing in part to a one-day tram strike.

This was Fitzroy's last VFL premiership before they merged with the Brisbane Bears in 1997 to become the Brisbane Lions. Fitzroy did not win another senior premiership or contest another grand final throughout its time in the VFL/AFL.
