Jabo Ibehre (born January 28, 1983 in Islington, England) is a football (soccer) striker who currently plays for Walsall in the English Football League 1. Ibehre signed for Orient in March 2000, having previously been a trainee at the club. Ibehre has since made over 100 appearances for the club, making his 99th start on February 11, 2006. Ibehre scored 30 goals whilst with the club. On the 6 May 2008 he was released by Leyton Orient F.C.

In August 2006, Brighton & Hove Albion and Wycombe Wanderers both offered £100,000 for Ibehre's services, and although Orient accepted the bid, Ibehre decided to stay at the club. Ibehre found it difficult to sustain a place in the Leyton Orient line-up in the 2006/07 season, especially with the loan signings of Ryan Jarvis and James Walker.

In October 2007, he became the player to have started the most amount of matches from the bench in Orient colour's in a 5-0 home defeat to Swansea City, the first home 5-0 home defeat in the league since the Second World War.

He scored his last goal for Orient in a 3-1 win against Bristol Rovers on the 3rd of May 2008 which was consequently his last game for the club. He left Orient, having scored 41 goals in 242 appearances in all competitions for the club.

On the 2 July 2008, Ibehre signed for Midlands club Walsall on a one-year deal.
