乔纳森·亨利·萨克斯男爵(Jonathan Henry Sacks, Baron Sacks,1948年3月8日—2020年11月7日)是英国著名的猶太教正統派拉比、哲学家、神学家及作家。1991年至2013年间,他担任英联邦联合希伯来会众的首席拉比。作为英国最大犹太教会体——联合会堂(United Synagogue)的精神领袖,他是该体系下正统派会堂的最高宗教代表,但未被视为极端正统派哈雷迪猶太教“希伯来联合会众联盟”(Haredi Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations)或保守派、改革派及自由派犹太教等进步运动的宗教权威[1][2]。在任首席拉比期间,他正式拥有“伦敦宗教法庭院长”(Av Beit Din)的头衔。去世时,他为“名誉首席拉比”[3]。
卸任首席拉比后,除频繁出席国际讲座与演讲、持续发表著作外,萨克斯还担任纽约大学英格博格与艾拉·伦纳特犹太思想全球杰出教授(Ingeborg and Ira Rennert Global Distinguished Professor of Judaic Thought),以及叶史瓦大学克雷塞尔与埃弗拉特家族犹太思想大学教授(Kressel and Ephrat Family University Professor of Jewish Thought)。他同时被任命为伦敦国王学院法律、伦理与圣经教授[4]。
萨克斯于2016年获颁邓普顿奖,以表彰其在阐扬生命精神维度方面的杰出贡献[5]。他亦担任劳尔·瓦伦堡人权中心(Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights)高级研究员。
