Jonathan Darryl Klemm (born January 8, 1970) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played in the National Hockey League. He is currently serving as the assistant coach for the Spokane Chiefs, a Western Hockey League team, based from Spokane, Washington.
After winning the Memorial Cup in 1991 as a Spokane Chief, Klemm signed as a free agent with the Quebec Nordiques on May 14, 1991. Klemm spent the next four years predominately with Nords affiliates, the Halifax Citadels and the Cornwall Aces of the AHL before the Nords relocated to become the Colorado Avalanche. Klemm played his first full season in the NHL in the Avalanche's inaugural season in 1995-96, helping the Avs win their first Stanley Cup. Klemm spent the next 5 seasons firmly entrenched in the Avalanche defense corps, helped the Avalanche to their second Stanley Cup victory in the 2000–01 season.
With 10 years served in the Quebec/Colorado franchise and ranking second in all-time games played by Avalanche defensemen, Klemm left as a free agent and signed with the Chicago Blackhawks on July 1, 2001.
