Jeff Lima (born 4 July 1982 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the Canberra Raiders in the National Rugby League. A New Zealand international representative prop, he previously played for Wests Tigers, Melbourne Storm (with whom he won the 2007 and 2009 NRL grand finals), and South Sydney Rabbitohs, and the Wigan Warriors and Catalans Dragons of Europe's Super League, as well as France's Elite One Championship for the Saint-Gaudens Bears.

Of Samoan and Portuguese heritage, Lima was educated at Auckland's De La Salle College, Mangere East. His junior club was the Mangere East Hawks. Lima moved to Sydney where he attended Patrician Brothers' College Blacktown.

Lima made his debut in the National Rugby League with Sydney's Wests Tigers club, scoring a try as the team defeated the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. In the next round, he was again chosen to play from the bench, but it was to be his last first-grade appearance for the club.
