Jorge Hernández (born February 22, 1988 in Guadalajara, Jalisco) is a Mexican football midfielder who currently plays for Atlas. He also plays for the Mexican national team, which qualified for the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada.

Hernández was signed along with fellow Mexican U-17 national Efrain Juarez by Barcelona in 2006 after impressing the spanish giants during the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship. However, due to Spanish registration rules limiting the number of non-EU players in club squads, neither of the pair were able to be registered for the Barcelona B-team, forcing Barcelona to loan them out to Tercera División team Barbate. Hernández soon grew unhappy with spanish fourth-tier football and returned to Atlas after the 2007 CONCACAF U20 Tournament in Mexico (where Mexico qualified for the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup)[1].
