Jonas Feige (b. 1988) is a photographer based near Frankfurt am Main. He studied photography at Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie (Berlin) under Ute and Werner Mahler and is the author of three photobooks.

From 2016–21, he worked with the photographer Yana Wernicke on Zenker, an examination of the history of German colonialism in Cameroon based on a portrait of the botanist and gardener G.A. Zenker. A book of the project was published in 2021 by Edition Patrick Frey.

In 2018–19, he participated in the ISSP master class of Clare Strand and Gordon MacDonald, where he began work on the project This Soil, which explores the idea of a hallowed German ground and the nation's founding myths. The work was later nominated for the MACK First Book Award and published by Kominek Books in 2021.

In 2024, he published his third book, A Narrow Foothold, a collaboration with American photographer Alan Huck. Inspired by the methodology of Walter Benjamin’s Passagenwerk, the two sorted through their archives of orphaned images in order to assemble a collective portrait of an anonymous city.
