Jeshua Anderson is an American retired sprinter born on June 22, 1989, in Woodland Hills, California, who specialized in the 400 metre hurdles. He attended Taft High School before competing for Washington State University.

Anderson is a three-time NCAA champion in the 400m hurdles and was the second freshman from Washington State to ever win the NCAA title. In 2008, he became the 400 metre hurdles Junior World Champion and held the second-fastest high school time in the 300m hurdles. He competed at the 2011 World Championships and reached the finals at the 2016 Olympic Trials.

After his competitive career, which was affected by a torn hamstring that limited his 2012 Olympic qualification efforts, Anderson transitioned to coaching at the University of Washington. Working alongside his former college coach Mark McDonald, he has led athletes to school records and All-American honors.
