Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan (born November 21, 1948 in San Diego, California) was a founding member of War, an American funk band in the 1970s and 1980s. Jordan had a number of roles over the years, acting as vocalist and playing guitar, piano, synthesizer, and percussion. He was among the first three people to join the group after its inception, having joined before the group adopted the name "War" (it had previously been known as "the Creators" and "Nightshift").

Dickerson, "The Other Side of War Warms Your Heart" on Soufflé Records, which featured Bobby Womack on Guitar. He is the only current member of War remaining from the original lineup.His manager, Jerry Goldstein, kicked out the other four members in a protracted legal battle who now tour as the Lowrider Band. Jerry won the "War" but lost the battle, leaving Lonnie to fight a "War" with transplanted members instead of the originals.
