Elmer Julius Boeseke Jr. (5 August 1895 to 17 October 1963) was an American polo player who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics. Born in Santa Barbara, California, he won the silver medal with the American team in the Olympic polo tournament of 1924. He also won the Argentine Open Polo Championship in 1932 with Michael Phipps, Winston Guest and William Post, which the article records as the only time an American team, or any team other than an Argentine one, has won that championship. Polo is a mounted team sport in which riders strike a ball with long-handled mallets.
