Jeff Erik Nunokawa (born August 1, 1958 in Honolulu, Hawaii) is a Professor of English at Princeton University.

He received a B.A. from Yale University and a Ph.D. from Cornell University. His interests lie in 19th century British literature, Novels, Theory and Criticism, and Feminist, Gender and Sexuality studies. He has published a number of books on these subjects. He joined the faculty at Princeton in 1988. Since then he has won the President's Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1992 and The Class of 2001 University Award for Distinguished Teaching.

At Princeton, Jeff also served as the Master of Rockefeller College during the 2007-2008 academic year. He is known for his jovial behavior and desire to sit amongst his students and discuss anything and everything. Some students attribute this behavior to his rumored breakfasts: two Red Bulls and three apples. Jeff's connection to his students is strengthened through his nontraditional use of Facebook. His Facebook activities consist primarily of writing Facebook notes, which range in length from a few sentences to a few paragraphs. He has written over 3200 notes; he calls it a "writing experiment." He often tags students and friends and both in his notes, and typically includes a picture.
