Jonathan T Cretney (born 1879, deceased) was an English professional association football player who played as a wing half. Born in Harrington, Cumbria, he started his career with Newcastle United but failed to make an appearance for the club and moved to Football League Second Division side Burnley in 1905. He spent six seasons with the Clarets, playing 167 league games and scoring seven goals, before transferring to Second Division rivals Gainsborough Trinity prior to the 1911–12 season. He spent just one season with Gainsborough and played five games, but left in 1912 after the club failed re-election to the Football League.
