Jörgen Jönsson (born September 29, 1972 in Ängelholm) is a Swedish professional ice hockey player who started his professional career in Rögle BK. He has also played in the NHL (for the New York Islanders and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim), but he chose moving home after one season because he wanted to be with his family. Jönsson is high-respected player in the Swedish National Team. He is normally appointed captain of Team Sweden, unless Mats Sundin happens to be available.

As of the World Championship 2006 he is the only player who has won Olympic gold, World Championship gold and the National (Elitserien) playoffs during one season. Currently he is playing in Färjestads BK for his tenth season.

Jörgen Jönsson won Guldpucken (Sweden's player of the year) in 1997.

With his two Olympic Gold medals, two World Championship Gold medals, four National Gold medals and (as of 2006-06-15) 260 games for Tre Kronor (currently ranked third in most games played) he is one of Sweden's best known hockey players.

His brother Kenny Jönsson is also a very well-known Swedish ice hockey player and plays for Rögle BK.
