Jacques Chapdelaine (born August 24, 1961) is the head coach of the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He has also served as the offensive coordinator for four other CFL teams and as the head coach for two Canadian university football teams. He has won three Grey Cup championships as an assistant coach and one Vanier Cup as the head coach of the Laval Rouge et Or. He played collegiately for the Simon Fraser Clan as a wide receiver and played as a slotback between 1983 and 1989 for four different Canadian Football League teams.
Chapdelaine was drafted with the fifth pick of the first round in the 1983 CFL Draft by the BC Lions. He had a productive first season with the Lions, recording 22 catches for 258 yards in 1983. Despite dressing in all 16 games in 1984, he caught only seven passes, leading to his trade to the Montreal Concordes during the following offseason. While his 1985 season with the Concordes was just as unproductive as the previous with the Lions, he posted career high totals with the re-branded Montreal Alouettes in 1986 with 53 receptions for 688 yards and his first career touchdown. The Alouettes franchise folded just before the 1987 season and Chapdelaine was selected in the dispersal draft by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He had two productive seasons in Hamilton, but fell out of favour in 1989, leading to his release in August of that year. He was signed by the Calgary Stampeders and played in one game before eventually retiring. Over the course of his career, he played in 94 games, recording 166 catches for 2,066 yards and six touchdowns.
