Jeff Zywicki (born April 8, 1981) is a professional lacrosse player from Ottawa, Ontario. He is currently a member of the Washington Stealth of the National Lacrosse League and the Toronto Nationals of the Major League Lacrosse. Zywicki is not known for his explosive speed but is widely recognized as an acrobatic, highlight-reel goal scorer.

Zywicki grew up in Nepean, Ontario, Canada where he played his minor lacrosse. At 15, he led his Midget lacrosse team to a Provincial championship with his father, Eugene Zywicki as the head coach. At 16, Zywicki began playing for the Nepean Knights of the OLA Junior B Lacrosse League, where he finished second with 5.0 points per game to Andre Leduc (5.4 points per game) for most career points per game. In 1998, Zywicki had a career high 96 points and was awarded as the League's Most Outstanding Rookie. During his time with the Knights, Zywicki also split time playing with the Jr. ‘A’ Orillia Rama Kings.

Zywicki attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst where he was awarded ECAC Lacrosse League First Team honors as a senior.

That same year, Jeff was drafted 8th overall by the San Jose Stealth in the National Lacrosse League entry draft. He also plays for the Toronto Nationals of Major League Lacrosse. During the 2009 NLL season, he was named a reserve to the All-Star game.
