Jonatas Figueira Fernandes (born 16 January 1992), known simply as Jô or Jô Fernandes, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a striker.

Jô started his career with Corinthians, progressing through their youth system. He was the team's top scorer in the 2011 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior. Although he was considered one of the club's top prospects, Jô had a series of disciplinary problems in his early career, which caused him to quit professional football in 2012. He had a short stint playing futsal in 2013, and in 2015, Jô made his return to association football. He was the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D top scorer and led his hometown club São Caetano to the quarterfinals. Following a number of successive knee injuries which kept him out of the 2017 season, he retired in February 2018.
