Joseph Hubert Ruetz (October 21, 1916 – January 2, 2003) was an American football player and coach and college athletics administrator.
Ruetz played in the 1938 College All-Star Game and his team upset Sammy Baugh and the Washington Redskins.
During World War II, he was a United States Navy physical education instructor and pilot.
In 1950, he then was an assistant and head coach at St. Mary's before joining Chuck Taylor's football staff at Stanford University and helping guide the team to the 1952 Rose Bowl.
He then "saved" the East–West Shrine Game by convincing Stanford to allow it to be played at the school, where it remained until its move to Pacific Bell Park in 2001.
