Jonny Maudling (born Jonathan Maudling) is an English musician and composer from Sidcup, Kent. He plays keyboards and drums and has also worked as a bassist for the unsigned UK thrash band Igniter. He became the main music composer for the symphonic metal band Bal-Sagoth and now writes music for Kull. He has collaborated with My Dying Bride.
Maudling often uses Roland synthesizers in live performances. He comes from a musical family and was classically trained on piano from a young age.
His credits include three My Dying Bride studio albums, session orchestration for Sermon of Hypocrisy, guest keyboards on Semargl, and keyboards on Keep of Kalessin's 2023 album Katharsis. In 2024 he played keyboards on Dragonborn's Riddle of Steel Beyond Ultima Thule.

Maudling runs Wayland's Forge Studios in Yorkshire as a producer and engineer. Although he mainly writes symphonic and black metal, his influences include non-metal acts like The Police, Tangerine Dream, Queen and Pat Metheny, as well as classical composers Wagner, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Messiaen, and Holst. His gear includes Casio CZ-1000, Yamaha DX21, Korg M1, Roland XP-50, Roland Fantom X7 and Korg Kronos X.
