Jamar Beasley (born October 11, 1979 in Fort Wayne, Indiana) is an American soccer player who currently plays for the Detroit Ignition of the Major Indoor Soccer League. The promising young player who had at one point trained with A.C. Milan, but due to an excessive nightlife washed out of Major League Soccer, is currently enjoying a comeback in indoor soccer.

Beasley began his professional career in 1998, as a member Major League Soccer's Project-40, directly out of High School (South Side High School) , the first MLS player ever to do so. He became a member of the New England Revolution. At the time, Beasley was the youngest player to sign with MLS, a record since broken many times over. In 2003, he played one game with the Carolina Dynamo.
