Jonah Woodson Hex is a fictional antihero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer John Albano and artist Tony DeZuniga. Hex is a surly and cynical bounty-hunter whose face is scarred on the right side. Despite his poor reputation and personality, Hex is bound by a personal code of honor to protect and avenge the innocent.

The character was portrayed by Josh Brolin in a self-titled film, Jim Cummings in the Jonah Hex Motion Comic and Johnathon Schaech in Legends of Tomorrow as well as voiced by Thomas Jane in DC Showcase: Jonah Hex.
