Jay Bothroyd (born 7 May 1982) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for J1 League club Júbilo Iwata.

He has also played for the England national team. He was a product of the Arsenal Academy and left to join Coventry City, later playing for Perugia, Blackburn Rovers, Charlton Athletic, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Stoke City, Cardiff City, Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield Wednesday and Muangthong United.

Bothroyd was born in Islington, London. He started his career in Arsenal's Academy, and played in their win against Coventry City in the 1999–2000 FA Youth Cup Final. At 18 years of age, Bothroyd was sold to Coventry after throwing his shirt at youth coach Don Howe and the bench having been substituted in the 2000 Premier League Youth Cup final against West Ham United. Despite having never played a first-team match for Arsenal, he cost Coventry £1 million when he joined them on 13 July 2000. His league debut came on 4 November 2000 in a 2–1 home defeat to Manchester United in the Premier League.
