Jordan Collier is a fictional character on the USA Network science fiction television series The 4400.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Jordan Collier, a real estate mogul, disappeared April 10, 2002, from the Seattle, Washington area. He starts the 4400 Center and mentors Shawn. After being assassinated by Kyle Baldwin, he disappears and reappears alive at the very end of the second season finale. Jordan returns to the 4400 Center just before the wedding of Shawn and Isabelle. He has been to the future and seen the catastrophe that the future warned of - a brutal and powerful elite rules the last human city and shuts itself off from the outside world while the rest of humanity struggles to survive in the wasteland - and has been spreading news of it as a gospel in homeless people's camps across the country. With Alana's help, he regains his memories and resumes control of the 4400 Center, casting Isabelle out.

After regaining his leadership of the 4400, Collier revives the Nova Group and steals Haspel Corporation's stores of promicin, with the intent of distributing it to the people. He succeeds in having his followers spread around the world and distribute promicin to all those who are willing to take the risks to gain an ability. He is currently hiding out in a cabin in the country to elude law enforcement.

Collier has been mentioned as something of a messiah in some dialogue; this indication is strengthened by his general demeanor (forgiving and wise) and by the fact that his general appearance, with long hair and a full beard, is in keeping with traditional representations of Jesus Christ. Given his apparent knowledge of the future, he may also have the power of precognition.
