Jonathan Kelly (born Jonathan Ledingham, 1947, Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland) is a singer-songwriter, who formed Jonathan Kelly's Outside in 1973, a British folk rock band.

Kelly had already enjoyed a varied career in music, playing with many musicians and groups, including Eric Clapton and Tim Staffell.

Outside was made up of Kelly, Snowy White and Chas Jankel on guitars, Dave Sheen on drums and Trevor Williams (ex-Audience) on bass guitar. White went on to play with Pink Floyd and Thin Lizzy before a successful solo career, and Jankel later played with Ian Dury and the Blockheads. One album was recorded, "...Waiting On You", in 1974, with an accompanying single "...Waiting On You" / "Outside", before the band members went their separate ways.

Kelly's songs were also recorded by Johnny McEvoy, The Johnstons, The Greenbeats, The New Seekers, McAnnix, Chopper, MacMurrough, Jim McCann, The Tymes etc.
