John Filomeno "Percy" Rodriguez[1] (5 January 1893 – 20 March 1917) was an Australian rules footballer who played with University and Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

The second of ten children, and the eldest son of pearl fisherman and hotelier Filomeno Francisco "Francis" Rodriguez (1864–1943),[2][3] and Maud Winifred Gwenevere Rodriguez (1877–1921),[4][5] née Miller, John Filomeno Rodriguez was born at Broome, Western Australia on 5 January 1893; he was "the first white boy" to be born at Broome.

[16] He played 31 games for the Perth Football Club in three seasons, 1910 to 1912, when, on the suggestion of the Perth captain (former Melbourne and University footballer Harry Cordner), he decided to move to Melbourne.

The university team withdrew from the VFL competition prior to the 1915 season; and, along with Claude Bryan, Jack Doubleday, Roy Park, he was cleared from University to Melbourne on 31 March 1915.

[18] In May 1919, an unidentified former Melbourne footballer, wrote to the football correspondent of The Argus as follows: He enlisted in the First AIF in Melbourne on 1 June 1915 under the name of "Percy John Rodriguez".
