Justin Harper (born February 24, 1985) is an American college football coach and former professional wide receiver.

He was recruited by Winthrop University to play basketball, but decided late in his senior season to try to become a Division I football player.

Harper appeared in 51 games during his four-year career at Virginia Tech, finishing with 83 catches for 1,338 yards, a 16.1 per-catch average, and nine touchdowns.

Harper's best game probably came in his final collegiate contest when he caught four passes for 64 yards (including a 20-yard touchdown), and scored on an 84-yard punt return in the 2008 Orange Bowl against the University of Kansas.
