Jaime Gonzalez (born 25 July 1954) is a Brazilian professional golfer, and is one of the few from his country to have enjoyed success on the international circuit. His father Mário won the Spanish Open as an amateur in 1947.

Gonzalez was born in São Paulo. He attended Oklahoma State University in the United States and won the individual title at the 1974 Eisenhower Trophy. He was the Brazil Amateur Open Champion in 1969, 1971, 1972 and 1976.

Gonzalez turned professional in 1977, and played six full seasons on the European Tour between 1982 to 1987, winning the 1984 St. Mellion Timeshare TPC. His best ranking on the European Tour Order of Merit was sixteen in 1984. He was also a member of the PGA Tour for two seasons (1980–81), with his best finish on it being fifth at the 1980 Sammy Davis Jr.-Greater Hartford Open.

Gonzalez twice represented Brazil in the World Cup, in 1978 and 1979.
