Joffrey Lupul (born September 23, 1983) is a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). In his professional career, Lupul has also played in the NHL for the Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers and Philadelphia Flyers. He was originally selected seventh overall at the 2002 NHL Entry Draft by Anaheim, beginning his NHL career with the organization and later playing a second stint with the team prior to joining the Maple Leafs in 2011.

A right hand-shooting natural right winger earlier in his career, Lupul has made the transition to become a left winger since joining Toronto.

Two years into his three-year major junior career with the Western Hockey League (WHL)'s Medicine Hat Tigers, Lupul was drafted by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim as the team's first choice, seventh overall, at the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. London Knights' Rick Nash was chosen first and Lupul's Tigers teammate Jay Bouwmeester went third that year. The following season, Lupul made the final roster for Team Canada and played in the 2003 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
