Jennifer Padilla González (born 1 January 1990) is a Colombian track and field athlete who competes in the 200 metres and 400 metres sprint events. Her first name also spells Yenifer of Yennifer.

She won the 400 m title at the 2011 Pan American Games as well as two bronze medals in the relay for Colombia. She set her 400 m personal best of 51.53 seconds at the competition.

Padilla was a medallist in the individual and relay sprinting events at the South American Championships in Athletics in both 2009 and 2011. She jointly holds the Colombian record for the 4×400 m relay with a time of 3:29.94 minutes.

Born in Quibdó, Chocó Department, she won the Colombian youth title over 200 m in 2007 and made her first international appearances two years later. At the age of nineteen she won her first senior medals, taking the 200 m bronze at the 2009 South American Championships in Athletics and sharing in the 4×400 metres relay silver with the Colombian team. Although the 2009 South American Junior Athletics Championships was for younger athletes, she repeated the same placings in both the 200 m and 4×100 m relay events. A week later she ran at the 2009 Pan American Junior Championships in Athletics. She came sixth in the 200 m but demonstrated her strength in the 400 metres sprint by winning the gold medal in a time of 53.60 seconds. Her fourth and final international outing of the year came at the 2009 Bolivarian Games and she won the 400 m silver and 400 m relay gold medals.
