Nathan Djerrkura (born 19 September 1988) is an Australian Football League player for The Geelong Football Club.

Taken at pick 25 in the 2006 National AFL Draft, Djerrkura is a highly rated young midfielder with a great work ethic and a strong body for his size. He gets a lot of hard ball gets and can kick goals when required. He was one of the best prospects from the Northern Territory in 2006, and was featured on SBS in a draft special.

Djerrkura played 2 NAB Cup matches in 2007, and was close to making his debut in Rounds 1 and 2 after strong VFL (reserves) form, until he received a setback when he was injured early in the season playing football in the VFL.

He is the son of Gatjil Djerrkura, former chairman of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission.[1]
