The St Johns Eagles is an Australian rugby league football club based in Punchbowl, New South Wales, formed in 1954. They currently play in the Sydney Combined Competition and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs district junior league.

The club currently runs 28 age-group teams.[1][2] In 2017, the club was embroiled in controversy as it emerged that an 8-year-old boy who played for the club appeared to be twice as big as some of the other children he was playing against.[3]
