Herbert Vivian "Viv" Randall (7 March 1914 – 7 September 1985)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Randall, a wingman, joined Hawthorn from Caulfield.

He had particularly strong seasons in 1935 and 1936 when he polled 10 and 12 votes respectively in the Brownlow Medal, finishing as Hawthorn's best vote getter on each occasion.[2]

Randall made two appearances for Victoria at interstate football. He played against the VFA in 1936 and South Australia the following year.[3]

He played his last season for Hawthorn in 1938, then returned to the VFA, joining Camberwell.[4]

During World War II, Randall served as a sapper in New Guinea.[5]

His son, Trevor Randall, played with Hawthorn in 1960.
