Jack Gelineau (born November 11, 1924 in Toronto, Ontario Died; November 12,1998) is a retired Canadian ice hockey goaltender who played for the Boston Bruins and briefly the Chicago Blackhawks. He won the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie in 1950, but was unable to capitalize on his early potential. In 143 career games he had 46 wins, 64 losses and 33 ties with a 3.13 goals-against average.

Ironically, Frank Brimsek's successor at Boston died the day after Brimsek died, on November 12,1998 of cancer.
