Jason Perry (born 2 April, 1970 in Caerphilly) is a former Wales international football player. A centre-half, he was highly regarded by supporters for his strong tackling and uncompromising style. He attained one cap for Wales in 1994.

Perry began his career at Cardiff City, making his debut in a 0-0 draw against Exeter City in March 1987, but it wasn't until the 1989-90 season that he managed to force his way into a regular first team place and helped the club to win promotion to Division Two in 1993. Perry hardly missed a game for the club up until the 1995-96 season when he suffered a number of injuries that kept him out of the side for most of the year. The following year he managed to bounce back to help the club reach the play-offs but was allowed to leave the club at the end of the season to join Bristol Rovers. After only one year he left the club and spells at Lincoln City and Hull City followed before he returned to Wales to sign for Newport County.

Perry is now a Lecturer at Pencoed College and also currently works for Bridgend sports development and Pencoed College football academy.
