Jeffrey John Novitzky (born December 15, 1967) is an agent for the Food and Drug Administration investigating the use of steroids in professional sports. Before April 2008 he was a special agent for the Internal Revenue Service who investigated the use of steroids for over five years.

Novitzky grew up in Burlingame, California and graduated from Mills High School in Millbrae in 1986. Novitzky enrolled at the University of Arizona on a track and field scholarship, before transferring to Skyline College. Novitzky played two seasons of basketball at Skyline but just one game in his second season due to injuries. In 1989, Novitzky transferred to San Jose State University on a basketball scholarship. For the San Jose State Spartans, Novitzky played two games as a reserve forward in the 1989–90 season, Stan Morrison's first as head coach. Again, injuries limited Novitzky's playing time to those two games. Novitzky graduated from San Jose State in 1992 with a degree in accounting.
