Julius "Jules" Jordan (November 10, 1850 - March 5, 1927) was an American composer, operatic tenor, vocal instructor and conductor.

Jordan took the leading part in two important American premieres: Berlioz's La' Damnation de Faust produced in 1880 at Steinway Hall, New York, under the direction of Leopold Damrosch, by the New York Oratorio Society in conjunction with the New York Arion Society and the Philharmonic Orchestra; and Gounod's "Redemption," produced in Boston in 1882 by the Boston Oratorio Society.
