Jonathan Keith Nunnally (born November 9, 1971 in Pelham, North Carolina) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder. He played in the major leagues from 1995-2000. He also played part of 2000 with the Orix BlueWave in Japan.

In 2005, while playing for the Indianapolis Indians in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, Nunnally tested positive for steroids, and received a 15-game suspension,[1] in what would be Nunnally's last season as a professional player.

After retiring, Nunnally went into coaching. He worked in the Cleveland Indians organization starting in 2006. On December 8, 2009, he was named the new hitting coach for the Indians, a position he held until being fired on June 19, 2011.[2]

On January 7, 2013, the Toronto Blue Jays announced that Nunnally would be the hitting coach for their Triple-A affiliate Buffalo Bisons.[3]
