For the Australian cricketer, see [Fred Jinks (cricketer)](/source/Fred_Jinks_(cricketer)).

**Frederick Tyson Jinks** (24 November 1880 – 8 February 1940)[2] was an [Australian rules footballer](/source/Australian_rules_football) who played for [Carlton](/source/Carlton_Football_Club) in the [Victorian Football League](/source/Victorian_Football_League_(1897%E2%80%931989)) during the early 1900s.

Originally from VFA club Footscray, Jinks was recruited by Carlton in 1906. Although he spent only four seasons with Carlton, he played in a Grand Final each year for three premierships. He played mainly in the ruck but was also used as a half forward flanker. In 1908 he became the club's vice captain and left two years later as a response to the sacking of coach Jack Worrall. He returned to the VFA where he played with North Melbourne, winning a premiership in 1910 and acting as captain-coach in 1912.
