Jonathan Rene Bender (born January 30 1981 in Picayune, Mississippi) is a former professional basketball player in the NBA.

Bender was selected with the fifth pick by the Toronto Raptors in the 1999 NBA Draft, straight out of Picayune Memorial High School in Picayune, Mississippi. He was then traded to the Indiana Pacers for veteran forward Antonio Davis. Bender was hyped for his size, athleticism and all around skill. For many, Bender proved disappointing, never averaging double digits in scoring and suffering from numerous injuries. A persistent sore right knee limited him to just seven games in 2004-05.

He is a cousin of current Raptors guard, Morris Peterson.

On February 4, 2006, Bender was forced into retirement due to chronic knee pain, although he has yet to file retirement papers with the NBA. He played for six years from 1999 to 2006.
