Joseph Remi Prudhomme (April 24, 1942 - December 6, 1990) was an American football offensive lineman at Louisiana State University. He joined the American Football League's Buffalo Bills in 1965 and played for them in 1966 and 1967, and later returned to the Bills of the NFL in the 1972 season. Even though he was injured in 1965, and did not dress for a regular season game that season, he was given an American Football League Championship ring for the 1965 season.

He played for the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs in 1968 and 1969, thus also earning a 1969 AFL Championship ring and a ring from the Chiefs victory over the NFL's vastly overrated Vikings in the fourth and final AFL-NFL World Championship Game. In that game, he recovered a Vikings fumble at the Minnesota 19 to set up a Chiefs touchdown. He later played for the NFL's New Orleans Saints in 1971 and 1972 before returning briefly to the Bills.
