Jordan Andrew "J. J." Perry is an American action director, martial artist, actor, and stuntman.

J.J. Perry began his martial arts training at the age of eight in 1975. Due to financial constraints, he worked at a martial arts school to afford his lessons. By 1993, he achieved a fourth-degree black belt in taekwondo.

His acting career took off when he performed stunt work for Johnny Cage in the original Mortal Kombat film. Perry went on to portray Scorpion, Cyrax, and Noob Saibot in Mortal Kombat Annihilation. He later appeared in the TV series Mortal Kombat: Conquest as Sub-Zero and contributed stunt work for Kung Lao. His stunt work extends beyond the Mortal Kombat franchise, including projects like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Scorpion King, and Beowulf. Perry was part of the stunt team for the 2006 film Ultraviolet and shared the Male Stuntman of the Year Award at the 2004 World Stunt Awards for his work in The Rundown. He was also recognized as Stunt Coordinator of the Year at the now-defunct ActionFest in 2012.

In 2022, Perry made his directorial debut with the feature film Day Shift and was announced in May 2023 to direct a film adaptation of Jay Bonansinga's novel The Killer's Gam.
