Joseph Robert Seaman (March 28, 1932 – August 13, 2018) was an American football coach.

He graduated from Sandusky High School and attended Kent State University on a scholarship.

An injury sustained during a spring game in his freshman year at Kent State ended his football career.

He had been slated to start at center for the Kent State varsity football team that fall.

Despite the injury, Seamon continued as a member of Kent State's track and field team, winning a Mid-American Conference title in the high jump.
