Jordan Kahu (born 28 January 1991) is a former professional rugby league footballer who played as a winger or centre, fullback for the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL and New Zealand at international level.
Kahu has played for the Brisbane Broncos and the North Queensland Cowboys in the NRL, as well as the World All Stars and New Zealand Māori in the "All Star" representative stage.
Born in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, Kahu is of Māori descent specifically the Ngāti Toa Iwi (tribe). Kahu is short for Jordan's birth surname Kahukuranui. Kahu attended Wellington College and played his junior rugby union for the Petone Rugby Club with Lima Sopoaga before moving to Australia to attend Keebra Park State High School. While at Keebra Park, Kahu captained the school's rugby league side to win the 2009 Arrive Alive Cup. Kahu played for the Broncos NYC team in 2010 and 2011, scoring 11 tries and kicking 2 goals in 23 games. Kahu's 2011 and 2012 seasons were shattered by two season ending knee injuries.
In Round 4 of the 2013 NRL season, Kahu made his NRL debut for the Brisbane Broncos against the Melbourne Storm at centre in the 32–26 loss at Suncorp Stadium. In the Round 9 match against the Parramatta Eels, Kahu scored his first and second NRL tries in the Broncos 19–18 loss at Parramatta Stadium. Soon after, Kahu extended his contract with the Broncos for 2 years, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2015 season. He scored 4 tries from 10 appearances in his debut year.

He finished off the season playing in 3 matches and scoring three tries.
Due to the injury of incumbent fullback Darius Boyd during the off-season, Kahu was selected to fill in at fullback showing promising performances in the early rounds. During a "breakout season", Kahu was rewarded with a 2-year contract extension with Broncos, to the end of the 2017 season. On 4 October, Kahu played on the wing in the Broncos' 17-16 golden point extra time loss to the North Queensland Cowboys in the 2015 NRL Grand Final.
