Geoff Jenkins (born July 21, 1974 in Olympia, Washington) is an outfielder in Major League Baseball who has played solely for the Milwaukee Brewers since 1998. After playing in left field for virtually his entire career, he has moved to right field for the 2005 season. Jenkins bats and throws left-handed.

Jenkins attended the University of Southern California, where he had a standout career from 1993 to 1995. In his final season, he batted .399 with 78 RBI and a .748 slugging percentage in 70 games, also scoring 75 runs to tie the school record held by Rich Dauer and Mark McGwire; his 23 home runs and 193 total bases ranked second in school history behind McGwire's 1984 totals of 32 and 216. He led the Trojans to the College World Series, where they reached the championship game; Jenkins was named to the all-CWS team, and also earned team co-MVP honors and was named a consensus All-American. In 1996, the year of the CWS' 50th tournament, Jenkins was named to the all-decade team for the 1990s. He finished his USC career with a .369 batting average, 45 home runs (second only to McGwire's 54), a .652 slugging percentage, 180 runs, and school records for runs batted in (175) and total bases (444). The Brewers selected him with the 9th pick of the first round in the 1995 amateur draft.

Jenkins has had a strong, if unspectacular, career with the Brewers, batting over .300 in his first two seasons, and driving in 90 or more runs three times for one of the perennially weaker teams in the league. He was selected to the National League's All-Star team in 2003.
