Jonny William Flynn (born February 6, 1989) is an American professional basketball player for the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association. He played collegiate basketball for the Syracuse Orange and was widely considered one of the top point guards in college basketball.

Flynn and Niagara Falls High School won the 2005 New York state public high school and federation championships. He was also named New York State Mr. Basketball following his senior year. When he graduated with the class of 2007, he was ranked the No. 22 overall recruit and No. 4 point guard by Rivals.com as well as the No. 23 overall and the No. 4 point guard by Scout.com.
