Joseph Erwin Jacoby (born July 6, 1959 in Louisville, Kentucky) is a former American football offensive lineman in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins. He won three Super Bowl rings and four National Football Conference championships during his tenure.

Jacoby started off as an offensive tackle for the University of Louisville from 1978-80

After college, Jacoby was snubbed in the NFL draft. He signed a free agent contract with the Redskins in 1981. After clawing his way through rookie camp, he embarked on an enviable career - four Super Bowl appearances, of which his team won three (XVII in 1983, XXII in 1988, and XXVI in 1992), plus four consecutive Pro Bowl selections from 1983-86.

Along with Jeff Bostic, Mark May, George Starke and Russ Grimm, Jacoby was a founding member of the Redskins' renowned "Hogs" offensive line of the 1980s and early 1990s (deemed one of the best front fives of NFL history), which was a mainstay of the Redskins' glory years during the first Joe Gibbs era.
