Jonathan Canter (born June 4, 1965) is a former professional tennis player from the United States.
Canter was born in Los Angeles, where his father, Stanley S. Canter, worked as a film producer. His father, who was also manager of Jimmy Connors for a time, produced films such as Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, Tarzan and the Lost City and Hornets' Nest, which he also wrote.
The promising junior made the quarter-finals of the US Open in 1981 and the following year he reached further quarter-finals at the US Open and French Open. His best performances however came in the doubles. With countryman Michael Kures as his partner, Canter won the boy's doubles title at the 1982 US Open, beating Australians Pat Cash and John Frawley in the final. He also made the doubles semi-finals at the 1982 Wimbledon Championships, partnering Chuck Willenborg. At the same event the following year, Canter was once again a singles quarter-finalist.
Canter never made the third round of the singles draw at a Grand Slam. He twice came close, the first time at the 1986 French Open when he squandered a two set lead over Jean-Philippe Fleurian in their second round encounter. In the US Open that year, after coming from two sets down to defeat Tim Mayotte in his opening match, Canter was again at the wrong end of a second round match decided in five sets, losing to Dan Goldie.
