Jack Bodell (11 August 1940 – 9 November 2016) was an English professional boxer who competed in the heavyweight division.
Bodell turned professional in 1962 and won the British heavyweight championship in 1969, before losing it to Henry Cooper in his first defense.
He lost the European title in 1971 after a defeat by Spaniard José Manuel Urtaín, and after losing both his British and Commonwealth titles to a second-round knockout by Danny McAlinden in June 1972, he retired from professional boxing.
Among his notable fights were a first-round knockout loss to Jerry Quarry after just 64 seconds, and a points win over future world title contender José Roman.
