Wayne Perske (born 7 July 1974) is an Australian professional golfer.

Perske played on the PGA Tour of Australasia and the Japan Golf Tour, winning once.

In October 2010, Perske was arrested in Japan for cocaine possession. He was convicted and received an 18-month sentence in prison, suspended for three years.[1][2][3]

Following a return to Australia, Perske persisted with golf, using his extensive tour knowledge to craft a teaching career. He held positions at Maleny Golf Club, Golf Central BNE and now teaches and manages at Golf 24, Hendra: an innovative virtual indoor golf facility.[4]

Following years of extensive back surgery, culminating in a total of four spinal fusions, Perske was deemed eligible to compete again in All Abilities tournaments for the year of 2024.[5]

In his opening tournament at Cobram Barooga Golf Club, he bested the field and won by seven shots.[6]
