Jeremy Goss (also Jerry) (born May 11, 1965 in Oekolia, Cyprus) is a former Welsh international footballer.

Goss, nicknamed "Gossa", a reference to Paul Gascoigne,^[1] is most noted for playing for Norwich City from 1984 to 1996 (after having been a member of the club's FA Youth Cup winning team in 1983), and came to prominence during their successful period in the mid-1990s. Goss played in the midfield, and was known for scoring spectacularly but not often, most notably in Norwich City's away win over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup. He also has the distinction of scoring the last goal in front of the terraced Spion Kop at Anfield. He was awarded a testimonial during the 1993-94 season, which fittingly became his most successful season with the club.

All told, Goss made 188 appearances for Norwich, scoring 14 goals. Goss retired in 1999, and now works for Norwich City as a community ambassador. Goss, with his father having served in the British Army, is also a member of the Forces2Canaries Supporters Group. In 2002, Norwich fans voted Goss into the club's Hall of Fame.

As a schoolboy at Pent Valley Secondary School in Folkestone, Goss also represented Kent Schools at football. After leaving Norwich in 1996, Goss had spells at Heart of Midlothian and Colchester United.
