Demarcus Dobbs (born November 30, 1987) is an American football defensive end who is currently a free agent. He was signed by the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2011. He played college football for the University of Georgia.

Dobbs was born on November 30, 1987 in Savannah, Georgia, and attended Calvary Baptist Day School, where he played high school football. When Dobbs was seven years old, he left home and moved into Bethesda Home for Boys with his brother Daniel. He excelled in school and was recruited to play football at Calvary Baptist Day by Danny Britt, the current athletic director at Benedictine Military School. Before high school, "Demarcus had never played football before. Calvary just wanted to give him an education," said Britt. "At that point, I asked him if he would be interested in trying football." Through his freshman and junior years at Calvary Baptist, he remained close with Britt and his family, before eventually being offered to move in with them during his senior year of high school. "Our girls were very small – just 4 and 5 years old at the time – and we were poor. We wondered, 'Can we raise a teenage boy? Can we feed another child?'" said Britt's wife, Stephanie. He moved in with the Britts in 2005, forming a close bond with their two daughters. "The girls have always been so excited to be with me, and it's funny when you see us together – I'm so big, and they're so small," said Dobbs.
