Jeffrey Scott Sigafoos is a New Zealand professor of educational psychology.

After a PhD from the University of Minnesota, Sigafoos has held roles at University of Queensland, University of Sydney, and the University of Texas at Austin. He is currently a professor at Victoria University of Wellington and an adjunct professor at James Madison University.[1][2][3]
