Jerome Adolphus Jordan (born September 29, 1986) is a Jamaican professional basketball player for Divina Seguros Joventut of the Liga ACB. He played college basketball for the University of Tulsa and represents the Jamaican national team in international competition.

Jordan was born to parents Bryan and Faith Jordan in Kingston, Jamaica, a city with just two hardwood courts, and it was not until age 16 that Jordan began playing basketball. Stephen Johnston, a former Jamaican national team captain, found a spot for Jordan at Redemption Christian Academy in Troy, New York, which he attended with his sister, Jheanelle, while his parents stayed in Jamaica. However, after one semester, Bryan withdrew Jerome and Jheanelle from the school and they returned to Kingston.

After graduating from Jamaica College, Jordan enrolled at Florida Air Academy in Melbourne, Florida. However, he was ineligible to play in 2005–06 due to an academic transfer rule.

On April 26, 2006, Jordan signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball for the University of Tulsa.

In his freshman season at Tulsa in 2006–07, Jordan played 23 games (10 starts) while averaging 2.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per game.

In his sophomore season, Jordan was named to the Conference USA All-Defensive team and All-Tournament team after a season where he finished second in the conference in rebounds and first in field goal percentage and blocked shots. He also led Golden Hurricane to the 2008 CBI championship and was named the tournament MVP. In 39 games (all starts), he averaged 10.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game.
