Jeffrey "Jeff" Thorpe (born 17 November 1972, in Cockermouth, Cumbria) is an English retired professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
He spent his entire career at Carlisle United before retiring in 2000 due to injury.
He played in the Championship winning 1994-95 season, scoring 4 goals, and made a substitute appearance at Wembley Stadium against Birmingham City in the Auto Windscreen Shield in April 1995 in front of a capacity 76000 fans.
