Johannes Wijbrandus Mathias "Jeu" van Bun (10 December 1918 – 21 December 2002) was a Dutch footballer who played as a right back for MVV Maastricht and the Netherlands national team.[1] He competed in the men's tournament at the 1948 Summer Olympics.[2][3]

Van Bun played football at the highest level in the Netherlands Football League Championship for nineteen years, mainly as a right back. He played seventeen years as unpaid amateur for MVV Maastricht.[4] During his period at MVV, he gained eleven caps for the Netherlands national team between 1947 and 1949. In 1948, as a member of the national team, he took part at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, where he was part of the team beating Ireland 3–1 in the preliminary round.[5]

Jeu retired from football in the 1953–54 season. After his career as a football player, he was active as a football coach at various Limburg amateur clubs. His nephew, also named Jeu van Bun, played for MVV between 1956 and 1960 and also appeared for Willem II and Sparta Rotterdam.[4]
