Jongikhaya "Jongi" Nokwe (born 30 December 1981) is a South African rugby union footballer who plays as a winger for the Springboks at international level, the Central Cheetahs franchise in the Super 14 tournament, and the Free State Cheetahs in the domestic Currie Cup competition. He has also represented Boland Cavaliers and the Stormers.

Born in Ngxalawe in the Ciskei (now part of Eastern Cape) region, Nokwe made his international debut against Argentina on 9 August 2008 and scored a try as the Springboks won 63–9. In only his third game, he became the first Springbok player to score four tries against the Wallabies in a Test match in a 53–8 victory in Johannesburg before injuring his leg.
