Jack Joseph Osbourne (born November 8, 1985 in London, England) is the son of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. He has two sisters, Kelly Osbourne and Aimee Osbourne. He became known to the general public with his appearance on the TV show The Osbournes. At one time, he worked for Epic Records as a talent scout and assisted his mother Sharon in managing his father's annual touring festival, Ozzfest.

Osbourne made headlines in 2003, when he was admitted to drug rehab for an addiction to OxyContin.

After rehab, Osbourne went on to play a bit role in New York Minute, a film starring the Olsen twins. He also starred in his own show on Channel 4 entitled Union Jack and co-hosted the ITV2 show, Celebrity Wrestling:Bring It On!. Recently, Osbourne reported he is studying to earn a GED.

Osbourne got in shape and lost a lot of weight in Thailand at a Muay Thai martial arts camp in Pattaya. He once claimed to be considering a career in law enforcement.

Osbourne's new show, is now airing on ITV2 in the UK, the Travel Channel in the United States, and on MuchMusic in Canada. Adrenaline Junkie focuses on Osbourne's training for extreme sports like rock climbing and mountaineering. After he finished this for ITV2, he began doing spots on ITV Saturday morning kids' T.V. in Holly & Stephen's Saturday Showdown (Ministry of Mayhem at one point). This suggests that maybe he will be offered a job at ITV for either a presenters role (possibly a replacement for the Paul O'Grady Show) or as a regular presenter in the next series of Saturday morning shows, as his current appearances are only now and again. He enjoys heavy metal. His favorite band is Tool.

Jack took part in Sport Relief and faced former S Club 7 Member Bradley McIntosh in a boxing match of three rounds of one minute each to raise money for the charity. Jack won by an unaminous decision.
