Todd Bozeman (December 5, 1963 – ) is an American basketball coach. The Washington, D.C. native currently serves as head men's basketball coach at Morgan State University.

Previously he served as head coach at University of California, Berkeley from 1993 to 1996. He took over in February 1993 as interim coach when Lou Campanelli was fired. He led the Golden Bears to three NCAA tournaments, including an upset of two-time defending national champion Duke in the second round of the 1993 tourney. Becoming the youngest coach (29 years old) to ever take a team to the "Sweet Sixteen".

Bozeman was forced to resign in the fall of 1996. He admitted paying, $30,000 over two years, to the parents of Golden Bears recruit Jelani Gardner so they could drive from their home in Mendocino to see him play. When Gardner's playing time dwindled, his parents turned Bozeman into the NCAA (Gardner eventually transferred to Pepperdine).The NCAA later imposed an eight-year "show-cause" order on Bozeman. The show-cause order meant that until 2005, no NCAA member school could hire Bozeman without permission. Since most schools will not even consider hiring someone with a show-cause order, Bozeman was effectively banned from coaching for eight years.

Bozeman spent the next ten years working as an NBA assistant and scout before landing the Morgan State job in 2006.
