Jeffrey Brian Lebo (born October 5, 1966) is the head men's basketball coach at East Carolina University. He was previously the head men's basketball coach at Auburn University (2004–2010), the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (2002–04), and Tennessee Tech (1998–2002). Before becoming a head coach, he spent a total of eight years as an assistant coach at South Carolina, Vanderbilt, and East Tennessee State.

Lebo was born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. As a high school player, he played for his father, Dave Lebo, at Carlisle High School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania where he was a McDonalds All-American. The elder Lebo would later serve as an assistant to his son, at Auburn. As a collegian, Lebo was a 4 year starter at point guard (1986–1989) while playing for legendary coach Dean Smith at the University of North Carolina. While at Carolina, Lebo set the Tar Heel record for most consecutive free throws made (41 from January 3 to March 12, 1989), the most assists in a single game (17 vs. vs. Tennessee-Chattanooga on Nov. 18, 1988) and graduated with the highest ever free throw shooting percentage (.839) in Tar Heel history. Lebo was also an Academic All American and graduated in 1989 with a degree in Business Administration. After leaving the Tar Heels, Lebo had a brief NBA career as a member of the San Antonio Spurs during the 1989-90 season, appearing in four games.

On 12 March 2010, following a loss to Florida in the 2010 SEC men's basketball tournament in Nashville, Lebo was fired as the head basketball coach after compiling a 96-93 record at Auburn and no post-season NCAA Tournament bids.

On March 22, 2010, Lebo was named head coach at East Carolina University. During his first year in Greenville, Lebo led the ECU Pirates basketball team to 18 wins, their first winning season since 1997, and a spot in the 2011 CollegeInsider.com Tournament which was the first post-season appearance by the Pirates since the 1993 NCAA Tournament. The 18 wins were the second most wins ever by the ECU Pirates since becoming a Division I basketball team.
