Edward John DeBartolo Jr. (born November 6, 1946) is an American businessman best known for his 23-year ownership of the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL).^[1] The five Super Bowls the 49ers dynasty won in 14 years were a record total for a single owner.^[2]

On February 6, 2016, DeBartolo was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a contributor.^[3]

DeBartolo was involved in the 1998 corruption case of Edwin Edwards, former governor of Louisiana. DeBartolo pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to report a felony, and received a $1 million fine and two years of probation in return for his testimony against Edwards. DeBartolo was fined by the NFL, and barred from active control of the 49ers for a year.^[4] On February 18, 2020, President Donald Trump granted DeBartolo a presidential pardon.^[5]
