John Bosco Jasokie also J. B. Jasokie (died 19 October 2005)[1] was an Indian politician from the state of Nagaland. He was the son of Late Dr. Khosa Zinyü (the first Naga Surgeon and member of the Naga Labour Corp) of Khonoma Village. He became the Chief Minister of Nagaland on two occasions as part of the Naga National Democratic Party. He was earlier a guide for Allied forces during the 2nd World War.[2][3][4][5] He was expelled from the Naga National Council after he differed with Angami Zapu Phizo and expressed his view that independence was unrealistic for a landlocked hill region with few natural resources.

He was also a composer and an accomplished singer of his time.

He died on 19 October 2005 at his residence in Kohima.[6]
