Jonathan Gould (born July 18, 1968 in Paddington, London, England) is a former Scotland goalkeeper.

Jonathan is the son of former Wales manager Bobby Gould, and was one of Wim Jansen's best buys for Celtic.^{[citation needed]} Gould first made his name with Coventry City for whom he played 27 games between 1992-1996, first under his father and later under Phil Neal. He was given a free transfer by the Sky Blues in 1996. Celtic plucked him from Bradford City's reserves in August 1997 to become one of the mainstays of the Bhoys championship winning side. Hampered by injury in 1998-99, Gould was the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper at Parkhead for sometime, despite the arrival of Dmitri Kharine. Gould also broke into the Scotland squad, deputising for Neil Sullivan in the Euro 2000 campaign. However, with the arrival of Martin O'Neill, he lost his place in the Celtic first team, he left Scotland to join Preston North End in 2003. At the start of the 2004-05 season he went on loan to Hereford United where he made 15 appearances.

Gould is now retired from playing football. In 2006 he became manager of New Zealand club Hawke's Bay United.
