Johnny Thunders, all'anagrafe John Anthony Genzale, Jr. (New York, 15 luglio 1952 – New Orleans, 23 aprile 1991), è stato un cantante, chitarrista e paroliere statunitense di origine italiana. Thunders fu una delle figure più influenti del rock anni settanta. Oltre a fungere da anello di congiunzione tra il rock decadente di gruppi come Velvet Underground e Stooges e il glam-rock di Marc Bolan e David Bowie, Thunders con i New York Dolls prima e gli Heartbreakers poi contribuì alla nascita del movimento punk aggiornando la figura del rocker ribelle, disperato e solitario tipica della cultura romantica statunitense. Guadagnatosi una vera e propria reputazione di "eroe maledetto del rock" a causa degli eccessi con alcol e soprattutto droghe (eroina), la sua figura viene spesso paragonata a quella di Keith Richards nella "mitologia rock".
