Jonathan Ruru (born 2 February 1993) is a New Zealand rugby union player who plays for Oyonnax in the French Top 14.[1] His position of choice is scrum-half. He is the younger brother of Rebels player Michael Ruru. Ruru has represented the New Zealand Maori All Blacks and The All Black Sevens Teams. He now play in Provence rugby.

A Hawkes Bay product, Ruru was ranked No 4 in his province in 2015, before finding an opportunity in an injury-hit Otago team in 2016 where he became a regular halfback in the Mitre 10 Cup.

He also earned a trial for the New Zealand Sevens, making the squad for two tournaments in 2016. He continued as a regular in 2017 impressing to earn a contract with the Blues, following his older brother who played for the Western Force. Ruru's form in the Mitre 10 Cup earned him a contract with the Blues and he has also been selected for the New Zealand Maori All Blacks.
