Tessa Tamplin (born 3 March 2001) is an Australian soccer player who plays for Newcastle Jets in the A-League Women. She has previously played for Servette in the Swiss Women's Super League.
Tamplin began her career as part of Newcastle Jets' academy, before being given her senior debut against Perth Glory after being promoted from a scholarship player. She played four games in her debut season (2018/19), including scoring one goal. Tamplin started all but one game in the subsequent two seasons (2019/20 & 2020/21), playing mostly as a right back. In July 2021, the club announced that following being awarded with the Jets Rising Star award for the season, Tamplin left the club to take up an opportunity overseas.[1]

After one season in Switzerland, Tamplin returned to Australia and signed once more with Newcastle Jets.[3]
