Jack Joseph Valenti (Houston, 5 de setembro de 1921 — Washington, D.C., 26 de abril de 2007) foi um assistente especial do ex-presidente dos Estados Unidos Lyndon B. Johnson e presidente da Motion Picture Association of America durante 38 anos.
In 1964, the president deputized me to handle relations with the Republican leadership. It was my job to keep the Oval Office open for Gerald Ford and Charles Halleck, then the House Republican leaders, and Everett Dirksen, leader of the Senate Republicans. Even though L.B.J. had large majorities in both houses of Congress after the 1964 election, he never turned his back on those across the aisle.
Jack Valenti, who became a confidant of President Lyndon B. Johnson and then a Hollywood institution, leading the Motion Picture Association of America and conceiving of a voluntary film-rating system that gave new meaning to letters like G, R and X, died today in his home in Washington. He was 85.
