Jentezen Franklin (* 1962) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pastor, Televangelist und Autor, der seit 1989 die pfingstlich-charismatische Megachurch Free Chapel in Georgia leitet. Einem breiten Publikum wurde er durch seine internationale Fernsehsendung Kingdom Connection sowie durch Veröffentlichungen zur geistlichen Praxis des Fastens und Betens bekannt. Während Bibelleser seine praxisnahen Andachten schätzen, sehen theologische Kritiker in seiner Lehre Elemente des Wohlstandsevangeliums und problematisieren zudem seine enge Verbindung zur US-Politik.
