Jeanette Bolden (born January 26, 1960) is an American Olympic athlete who formerly competed in the 100 metres.

She competed for the United States in the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, U.S. in the 4 x 100 metres where she won the gold medal with her teammates 100 metre silver medalist Alice Brown, Chandra Cheeseborough and Olympic 100m champion Evelyn Ashford.

Her athletic career came to a sudden end at the 1988 Olympic Trials when she ruptured her Achilles tendon just moments after teammate Florence Griffith Joyner set the still standing World Record in the 100 metres.

Bolden attended college at California State University, Northridge[3] and later transferred to UCLA where she graduated in 1983.

[6] Bolden was the head track and field coach for UCF after a successful tenure with UCLA's women's program.
