Francis Jeffers (born 25 January 1981 in Liverpool, England) is an English football striker who is currently a free agent having been released by A-League side Newcastle Jets in April 2012. In his career Jeffers has played for Barclays Premier League teams Everton and Arsenal. He has one cap for England, scoring one goal against Australia.

Born in Liverpool, Merseyside, Jeffers began his career at Everton, making his debut as a half-time substitute (for Dave Watson) on Boxing Day 1997 at Old Trafford at the age of 16 years 335 days. Showing a lot of early promise and talent, he scored 20 goals in 60 matches for the Toffees with his best season coming in the 1999-2000 campaign, striking up a prolific partnership with Kevin Campbell after initially starting the season out of the squad after a much publicised row with manager Walter Smith over a pay rise.

Jeffers started 2000-2001 brightly, but his season was cut short with multiple ankle and shoulder injuries. When he did feature, he performed well, and his goal to game ratio was the best at the club that season. This earnt Jeffers a new contract offer from the club, the biggest in the clubs history. However after months of negotiations, Jeffers informed the club he was rejecting the new deal, prompting him to be booed by his own supports after a substitute return against West Ham in April 2001. Jeffers was sold to Arsenal for 8 million pounds in June 2001, much to Evertonian's disappointment.
