Louis Werchon (born 24 October 2002) is an Australian professional rugby union player.

A Sunshine Coast Grammar product, Werchon was a Junior Wallaby and played his early rugby for the Maroochydore Swans.[1] He featured in a reserves premiership with Brothers in 2022, kicking the grand final-winning field goal.[2]

Werchon joined the Queensland Reds during their 2023 Super Rugby Pacific campaign and missed out on a possible debut off the bench when he was dropped by coach Brad Thorn for arriving late. He was retained by the Reds in 2024 and got another opportunity when scrum-half Tate McDermott received a three-week suspension, subsequently making his debut in their round nine win over the Highlanders at Suncorp Stadium.[3]
