Jeffrey Alan Uhlenhake (born January 28, 1966 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a former American football center in the National Football League for the Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, and the Washington Redskins, and started 112 out of 119 games.

Uhlenhake played college football with the Ohio State Buckeyes. He was a four-year starter, playing left guard as a freshman and sophomore and center as a junior and senior. Prior to his senior season his teammates elected him as a team co-captain. That season he was the team's only All-America selection, and his teammates voted him their Most Valuable Player. In 2008 he was inducted into the Ohio State Varsity O Hall of Fame.

After a number of coaching stints, including one with the Cleveland Browns, Uhlenhake has returned to Ohio State as a member of the football team's strength and conditioning program.
