Johannes Jacobus Engelbrecht (born 22 February 1989 in Port Elizabeth) is a South African rugby union footballer who plays as a wing or outside centre for the Ospreys in the Pro12 competition.
Engelbrecht attended Grey High School in the Eastern Cape until 2007, where he also played rugby for their first XV rugby team, alongside fellow future professional Tim Whitehead. He also earned a call-up to represent Eastern Province at the premium high school rugby union competition – the Under-18 Craven Week – held in Stellenbosch in 2007.
After finishing high school, Engelbrecht moved to Cape Town to join the Western Province academy. He represented them in the domestic Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup competitions between 2009 and 2011, before joining teammates Johann Sadie and Lionel Cronjé in making the move to Pretoria to join the Blue Bulls ahead of the 2012 season. He established himself in the Bulls Super Rugby team during the 2012 Super Rugby season, scoring three tries in seventeen appearances in the competition. He broke into the national team and signed a contract extension in June 2013 to keep him at the Blue Bulls until 2016.
