Jon Steven Garland (born September 27, 1979, in Valencia, California) is a right-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

At John F. Kennedy High School in Granada Hills, California, Garland won All-State Player of the Year twice, and won 1st team High School All-American honors once.

Garland was selected by the Chicago Cubs with the 10th pick of the 1997 Major League Baseball Draft and pitched in 10 games for the Arizona League Cubs with a 3-2 record and a 2.70 ERA to finish the season. He began 1998 with the Single-A Rockford Cubbies, but was traded to the Chicago White Sox just before the trade deadline for relief pitcher Matt Karchner who had previous success in the majors, but was having a down season with the White Sox (5.15 ERA). Unfortunately for the Cubs, Karchner didn't fare any better with them that season (5.14 ERA) and was released in 2000 while Garland dominated the minor leagues on his way to securing a spot in the White Sox's rotation for seven seasons.
