Commander Jeffrey D. Gordon is an officer in the United States Navy.

Commander Gordon's most recent appointment is to serve as a Pentagon spokesman. Gordon, a career officer, joined the secretary's office under Donald Rumsfeld. Documents relating to the Rumsfeld's promotion of Jeffrey Gordon have not been made available to the public despite repeated requests. It is not clear, for example, what qualifications and experience prompted the promotion, however, since 2005 Gordon has frequently served as a spokesman for issues related to the extrajudicial detention of captives seized during the "global war on terror", in the Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba..

Gordon was responsible for justifying an explanation for the DoD prohibition for military personnel using social networking services like myspace, or to use sites like youtube.

On October 2 2007 Gordon went on record offering an explanation as to why so often captives, who have been cleared for release, have continued to be held in Guantanamo.

“All detainees at Guantanamo are considered a threat to the United States — to include those transferred yesterday. As a condition of repatriation, nations accepting detainees must take steps to prevent the return to terrorism, as well as providing credible assurances of humane treatment.”
