}}

Don Whitten (born 16 September 1935) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Whitten, who played for Footscray in the under-19s, joined his brother Ted in the senior team in 1956.[1] He played 24 games over three seasons with Footscray, often as a centreman, then in 1959 joined Western District Football League club Casterton as coach.[2][3]

He coached Casterton to a premiership in 1960, but was then replaced in the role by two-time Essendon best and fairest winner, Reg Burgess.[3][4]

Instead, Whitten played for Yarraville in 1961 and was a member of their premiership side that year.[1][5] He captained the club in 1963, a year in which he finished second in the J. J. Liston Trophy, to teammate Ron Clegg.[6]

From 1964 to 1968, Whitten was coach of Tocumwal in the Murray Football League.[7][8] During his tenure, Tocumwal made three consecutive grand finals and won the premiership in 1967.[9]
