Don Anthony "Tony" Boselli, Jr. (born April 17, 1972 in Modesto, California) is a former American football offensive tackle. He spent nearly all of his professional career playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League (NFL).
Boselli played college football for the University of Southern California Trojans. He was drafted by the newly-formed Jacksonville Jaguars as the second pick in the 1995 NFL draft, becoming the team's first-ever draft pick. He played with the Jaguars until 2002, proving one of the franchise's most successful and popular players. He was selected by the Houston Texans in the 2002 expansion draft, but injuries prevented him from playing and he retired after the season. As a sign of his success in Jacksonville he was the first player inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars, the teams' Hall of Fame, and signed a symbolic one-day contract allowing him to retire officially as a Jaguar. During and after his professional football career he participated in business ventures and founded the charitable Boselli Foundation, and worked as a sports commentator.
