Jordan Turner-Hall (born 5 January 1988 in London, England) is a former rugby union player for Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership, playing primarily as a centre but he could also play on the wing.

His first start for England came on 30 May 2009 against the Barbarians.

He spent his younger days playing American football with the likes of Nick Ashburn and Charlie Canrac, who both went on to play professionally for the Miami Dolphins. Turner-Hall was known as 'The Bull' in his football playing days, and it is his hefty frame that can at times make him one of the most brutal attacking forces in the Premiership today. Honours such as representing Harlequins 1st XV at 17 years old, and playing for the England under 20s on a regular basis, have already come before him.

In 2011, he won the EPCR Challenge Cup, formerly the Amlin Challenge Cup, beating Stade Français 19-18 in the final.{{cite web |title=TURNER-HALL RETURNS TO QUINS IN NEW COACHING ROLE |url=https://premiershiprugby.com/content/turner-hall-returns-to-quins-in-new-coaching-role |website=Premiership Rugby |publisher=Premiership Rugby |access-date=11 December 2023}}{{cite web |title=Late converted try edges Harlequins to victory over Stade Français |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2011/may/20/euorpean-challlenge-cup-harlequins-stade-francais |website=The Guardian |publisher=The Guardian |access-date=11 December 2023}}

In 2012, he started for Harlequins as they beat Leicester Tigers 30-23 to win the 2011–12 Premiership final.{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/18154802|title=Harlequins 30-23 Leicester|publisher=BBC Sport|date=26 May 2012 |accessdate=2 March 2016}}

In 2015, he was forced to retire from playing rugby at just 27 years old after a recurring hip injury. Having been a fan favourite with Harlequins, he had been playing with the senior side since 2004.{{cite web |title=TURNER-HALL RETURNS TO QUINS IN NEW COACHING ROLE |url=https://premiershiprugby.com/content/turner-hall-returns-to-quins-in-new-coaching-role |website=Premiership Rugby |publisher=Premiership Rugby |access-date=11 December 2023}}

In 2020, he rejoined the club as an academy coach.{{cite web |title=TURNER-HALL RETURNS TO QUINS IN NEW COACHING ROLE |url=https://premiershiprugby.com/content/turner-hall-returns-to-quins-in-new-coaching-role |website=Premiership Rugby |publisher=Premiership Rugby |access-date=11 December 2023}} He has since gone on to nurture the likes of Cadan Murley, Louis Lynagh and Oscar Beard who have all come through the Harlequins academy.
