Jonathan Mark "Jono" Naylor (born 1966/1967) is a New Zealand politician from Palmerston North. He was Mayor of Palmerston North from 2007 to 2014, when he was elected to the House of Representatives in the 2014 election as a list MP for the National Party.
Naylor was born in Upper Hutt and raised in Wellington, Auckland, and Masterton before moving to Palmerston North to study at Massey University in 1985. In 1997, he earned a Bachelor of Social Work. He is married with three children.
Naylor became a member of the city council in 2001 and was elected Mayor in 2007, defeating incumbent Heather Tanguay.
Naylor sought the nomination of the National Party for candidacy in the Palmerston North electorate for the 2014 election and was the sole nominee. He promised to resign as Mayor if elected to Parliament. Naylor was beaten in the election by the incumbent, Labour's Iain Lees-Galloway. Naylor was in 51st place on National's party list, and based on preliminary results, he was returned as a list MP, but this was not certain as the counting of special votes might have changed the number of List MPs elected for National.
