Jonathan Vila Pereira (born 6 March 1986) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
Vila was born in O Porriño, Province of Pontevedra. Brought through the youth ranks of local team RC Celta de Vigo, he made his La Liga debut on 17 December 2006, playing 14 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Levante UD. He totalled ten official appearances during the season, including three (also as a substitute) in the campaign's UEFA Cup as the Galicians were eventually relegated.
Vila was definitely promoted to the main squad for 2008–09, with Celta now in the Segunda División. He contributed 15 matches – 13 starts – in the 2011–12 campaign, to help the club return to the top flight after an absence of five years.
In January 2014, completely ostracised by new manager Luis Enrique, Vila was loaned to Beitar Jerusalem F.C. of the Israeli Premier League until June. In July, he terminated his contract with Celta and signed with Real Oviedo of Segunda División B.
On 23 August 2018, Vila joined Indian Super League franchise FC Pune City after one season with Recreativo de Huelva in the Spanish third tier.
