Jonatan Ezequiel Cristaldo (5 March 1989), nicknamed "Churry", is an Argentine footballer who plays as a striker for Liga MX club Monterrey.
Cristaldo made his debut for Vélez Sársfield in a 0–2 home defeat to Rosario Central on 22 April 2007, for the 2007 Clausura. He scored his first goal also in a home game against Rosario Central (2–1 victory), for the 2008 Clausura.
Cristaldo won his first Argentine league championship with Vélez on the 2009 Clausura. During the championship, he was at first a substitute for the striking partners Hernán Rodrigo López and Joaquín Larrivey; however as of the 11th fixture, he became a regular starter along López in the attack. Nonetheless, a meniscus injury suffered in the penultimate fixture against Lanús left him out of the final game against runners-up Huracán, in which the tournament was decided. In total, the striker played 14 games and scored 4 goals during the competition.
In the following semester, Cristaldo started by scoring in Vélez' 1–0 home victory over Boca Juniors in the first round of the 2009 Copa Sudamericana, securing his team's qualification. He was also, along Maximiliano Moralez, his team's top scorer on that semester's league championship (2009 Apertura) with 5 goals in 13 games. One of his goals was scored with a bicycle kick from outside the penalty area (6th fixture 2–0 win over Huracán).
