John Corrigan "Jonathan" Wells (lahir tahun 1942) adalah seorang sarjana biologi molekuler, pengarang, pendukung Perancangan cerdas yang berasal dari Amerika Serikat. Wells bergabung dengan Unification Church pada tahun 1974, dan kemudian menulis bahwa ajaran-ajaran pendiri gereja itu Sun Myung Moon, studinya sendiri di Unification Theological Seminary dan doa-doanya meyakinkannya untuk memusatkan hidupnya bagi "penghancuran Darwinisme." Istilah Darwinisme sering digunakan oleh para pendukung Perancangan cerdas dalam merujuk kepada konsensus ilmiah mengenai evolusi. Ia meraih gelar PhD dalam bidang studi agama dari Yale University pada tahun 1986, kemudian menjadi Direktur organisasi penjangkauan antar agama pada Unification Church di New York City. Pada tahun 1989, belajar di University of California, Berkeley, di mana ia meraih gelar Ph.D. dalam bidang biologi molekuler dan biologi seluler pada tahun 1994. Ia menjadi anggota sejumlah asosiasi ilmuwan dan menerbitkan banyak tulisan dalam jurnal-jurnal akademik.
