Jonathan Zebina (born July 19, 1978 in Paris) is a French professional football player, currently playing for Juventus in the Italian Serie A. He plays as a right back and occasionally as a centre back, though he started out as a striker. Zebina is known for his bad disciplinary record.

Zebina began his career with Cannes in the French Championnat National in 1996. He then moved to Cagliari in 1998, and on to AS Roma in 2000, where he won the Scudetto in 2001. He came to Juventus with coach Fabio Capello at the start of the 2004-05 season. Despite being a regular during his time at Roma and Juventus he has earned only one cap for France on February 9, 2005 in a 1-1 draw against Sweden. He has been called up more recently but he has not played.

Against AC Milan in December 2007, Zebina wore a misspelled uniform for Juventus. His name was spelled Z3BINA. The E was put on backwards and looked like a 3. Zebina will now wear number 15 instead of number 5, following former captain Fabio Cannavaro's return to the club.
