Jonjo Shelvey /ˈdʒɒndʒoʊ ˈʃɛlvi/ (born 27 February 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Championship club Newcastle United.

He began his career at Charlton Athletic, becoming their youngest-ever player at 16 years and 59 days old. In 2010, he moved to Liverpool for an initial £1.7 million, spending a brief loan at Blackpool. During his time at Anfield, Shelvey was part of a Liverpool squad which won the League Cup and lost the FA Cup final in 2012. He joined Swansea City for £5 million in 2013, and Newcastle United for £12 million two-and-a-half-years later. A month after joining Newcastle, he was made the team's stand-in captain, as the season ended with relegation.

Shelvey played for England at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 level and has captained the under-19 team. He won his first cap for the senior team in 2012.
