Jeffrey Hopkins (born 14 April 1964 in Swansea) is a retired former Wales international football defender, who most notably played club football for Fulham and Reading.

Hopkins started his career as a trainee with Fulham, going on to make over 200 first team appearances for the club. This was followed by a four year spell at Crystal Palace, including a loan to Plymouth Argyle in 1991. He spent a few months at Bristol Rovers in 1992, before spending the remaining five years of his career with Reading.

While at Reading, he was part of the team that narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League in the 1994-95 season, losing 4-3 after extra time in the playoff final against Bolton Wanderers.
