Jhonatan Restrepo Valencia (born November 28, 1994 in Pácora, Caldas) is a Colombian cyclist riding for Team Katusha–Alpecin.

During his youth he was a competitive swimmer, winning four national titles in Colombia.

According to Restrepo, he and his manager contacted a number of UCI WorldTeams via Facebook from December 2014 with a view to gaining a professional contract, and after becoming Pan-American Under-23 Champion in 2015, he received an offer from Katusha for a position as a stagiaire that season, subsequently remaining with the team for 2016. He participated in the 2015 Pan American Games and was first in the team pursuit. He was named in the startlist for the 2016 Vuelta a España.
