Jonathan "Jon" Lewis (born 26 August 1975 in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire) is an English cricketer who has played county cricket for Gloucestershire since his first-class debut in 1995, becoming captain in 2006. He has played for the English cricket team in Twenty20, One-Day International and Test matches.

In 2005, Lewis was included in the England squad for the two Tests against Bangladesh, but did not play in either match. He did, however, make his first international appearance in the Twenty20 game against Australia in June, and took 4-24 in his four overs as England recorded a crushing 100-run victory. He made his One-Day International debut a few days later in England's win against Bangladesh at The Oval, again impressing with 3-32 from ten overs. He was included in the 13-man squad for the home series against Sri Lanka in 2006, making his Test debut at Trent Bridge on 2 June 2006 and taking a wicket with his fourth delivery (and third legitimate ball) in Test cricket. He is the 634th, and latest, player to represent England at Test cricket.

He was selected in a number of Test squads during the summer of 2006, but only played in one Test against SL, coming to be regarded as something of a perennial 12th man.

He did however bowl well in the ODIs against Pakistan, having finally been given an extended run in the side.
