Jehue Gordon (born 15 December 1991) is a Trinidadian track and field athlete who specialises in the 400 metres hurdles. He turned professional on 24 June 2010,[1] and signed a deal with Adidas in August 2010.[2]

Formerly a pupil of Queen's Royal College in Port of Spain,[3] he began his international athletics career at the 2008 World Junior Championships in Athletics, where he finished fifth in the semi-finals at the age of 16. He was the bronze medallist in the 400 m hurdles at the 2008 CARIFTA Games and went on to win the gold medal the following year, recording a championship record of 50.01 seconds.[4] His success continued in the form of a bronze medal at the 2009 Central American and Caribbean Championships in Athletics, where he ran a time of 49.45 seconds,[5] and a silver at the 2009 Pan American Junior Athletics Championships.

He qualified for the 2009 World Championships in Athletics and surprised by setting a world-age best and senior national record of 48.66 seconds in the heats.[6] He progressed through the rounds and reached the final, finishing in fourth with a 48.26-second national record.[7] Statisticians A. Lennart Julin and Mirko Jalava picked out Gordon's performances as sign of promise for future success.[8] At the start of the 2010 season, he took a 400 m and 110 metres hurdles double at the trials for the CARIFTA Games.[9] He went on to improve the championship records in both the 110 and 400 m hurdles at the 2010 CARIFTA Games, earning himself that year's Austin Sealy Trophy.
