Bertie Crellin (27 May 1902 – 15 April 1993) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Crellin was a mainstay at the Williamstown Football Club for much of the 1920s. From 1922-1929 he filled roles in the backline for Williamstown and was often a standout player. Like many men of the time, the great depression of 1929 saw Crellin seek employment in a regional area. He temporarily relocated to Bendigo at that time and played for the local Kangaroo Flat Football Club.
