Jess Hosking (born 2 December 1995) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Richmond Football Club in the AFL Women's (AFLW). She has an identical twin sister, Sarah, who also plays for Richmond Football Club.[1] [2] Hosking was drafted by Carlton with their tenth selection and seventy-eighth overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[3] After missing the entire 2017 season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury,[4] she made her debut in the eight point win against Collingwood at Ikon Park in the opening round of the 2018 season.[5]

Hosking requested a trade to Richmond in order to reunite with her sister Sarah Hosking in the final stages of the 2021 draft period, on 9 June 2021. She was eventually traded alongside picks 55 and 57 in exchange for picks 23 and 40.[6]
