Jeffrey Boam (November 30, 1946 - January 24, 2000) was an American screenwriter and producer. Some of his work includes the scripts of The Lost Boys, Lethal Weapon 2 and 3 and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

In the mid-1990s, following on from Jeb Stuart's Indiana Jones and the Saucermen from Mars, Boam had been brought in to work on a fourth Indiana Jones film screenplay – Variety reported on October 18, 1995 that Boam was penning the scripts of Indiana Jones 4 and Lethal Weapon 4.[1] - which led to hoax drafts such as Indiana Jones and the Sons of Darkness and Indiana Jones and the Sword of Arthur floating around the internet that falsely attributed authorship to him.

On January 24, 2000, Boam passed away victim of a rare cardiac disease that resulted in heart failure. He was 53.
