James Frederick Boeke (September 11, 1938 – September 26, 2014) was an American football offensive tackle in the National Football League for the Los Angeles Rams, the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints. He played college football at Heidelberg College.
Boeke was born in Akron, Ohio. He attended Cuyahoga Falls High School where he practiced football and track. He accepted a scholarship from Heidelberg College, establishing himself as a two-way tackle in football and also lettering in track.
In 1985, he was inducted as a charter member of the Heidelberg University Athletic Hall of Fame. In 2008, he was inducted into the Summit County Sports Hall of Fame.
Boeke was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the nineteenth round (217th overall) of the 1960 NFL Draft. On August 19, 1964, he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for running back Les Josephson.
In 1964, he was acquired because the team needed offensive line depth after a rash of injuries. He started 7 games, including 4 at left tackle, replacing Tony Liscio who was placed on the injured reserve list.
