'''Jason Cripps''' (born 14 October 1976) is a former [Australian rules football](/source/Australian_rules_football)er who played with [St Kilda](/source/St_Kilda_Football_Club) in the [Australian Football League](/source/Australian_Football_League) (AFL).

Cripps was often used as a tagger but also played in defence. He played in the Saints' losing 1997 Grand Final team and in 1998 suffered a serious hamstring injury which saw the muscle torn off the bone. As a result, he did not return to football until 2001, kicking a goal with his first kick back. He was delisted at the conclusion of the 2002 season.

== Post-football career==
Cripps played with Tasmania in the VFL for a season before returning to St Kilda in player development and assistant coaching roles under [Grant Thomas](/source/Grant_Thomas_(footballer)).

He moved to [Port Adelaide](/source/Port_Adelaide_Football_Club) for the 2007 season as an assistant coach under [Mark Williams](/source/Mark_Williams_(Australian_footballer_born_1958)) before becoming the club's list manager at the end of 2011.
