Jonathan Marc "Jonny" Bairstow (born 26 September 1989) is an English cricketer, who plays first-class cricket for Yorkshire and England. A right-hand batsman and wicket-keeper he is the second son of former Yorkshire and England wicket-keeper David Bairstow and the half-brother of former Derbyshire player Andrew Bairstow. His maiden Test century came in the first innings of England's second test at Newlands during their 2015/2016 tour of South Africa, beating his previous best of 95 at Lord's, also against South Africa.

In the year 2016, Bairstow became the wicket keeper to effect most dismissals in a calendar year.

Born in Bradford, West Yorkshire in 1989, Bairstow displayed his early talent when he was chosen as the inaugural winner of the Young Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year award. This was for the form he showed in 2007 for St Peter's School, York when he scored 654 runs. During the 2008 season he played second XI cricket for Yorkshire, in six championship matches he scored 308 runs at an average of 61.60. He was called up to the first-team squad for the final County Championship match of the season against Sussex but failed to make the starting eleven. At the end of the season he signed a two-year professional contract.

Bairstow began the 2009 season playing second XI cricket but after scoring 202 not out against Leicestershire seconds, he was called up into the first-team match with Somerset when Michael Vaughan was ruled out through injury. On his first-class debut he scored 28 before being bowled by Michael Munday. In the second innings he top scored with an unbeaten 82. In Somerset's second innings he took over the gloves from an injured Gerard Brophy and took four catches.
