Jonatan Berg (born 9 May 1985 in Torsby) is a former Swedish footballer. His natural position was on the central midfield, but he also worked well as a right winger.
After playing for his local club and Torsby IF, he joined IFK Göteborg in 2002. After a couple of years his younger brother Marcus Berg (now being a player for the national team of Sweden) also joined IFK Göteborg. Jonatan wasn't a pick for the starting line up and therefore he went to loan in 2006 to the Gothenburg rival of GAIS where he played as a starter. In 2007 he went on loan to Trelleborgs FF in 2007. In 2008 he stayed at IFK Göteborg but played only 9 games, of which 7 was as a starter. In 2009, he moved on to Gefle IF. There, he became an important player with great teamwork and being good on set pieces. In July 2010, after having a trial he moved on to Italy and Serie C1, joining Taranto which are aiming to reach Serie B.
