Jennings Chestnut, born in Conway, South Carolina, was an American luthier, specializing in mandolins. Despite his lack of formal training, Chestnut's mandolins became popular among bluegrass musicians in and around Conway. He began making mandolins when he could not afford to buy one for his oldest son. Although able to play the banjo and guitar, Chestnut never learned to play the mandolin.
