Hayes Alan Jenkins (born March 23, 1933) is a retired American figure skater. He won four consecutive World Figure Skating Championships from 1953 to 1956. He also won the gold medal in the 1956 Winter Olympics, after placing 4th in the 1952 Winter Olympics. His brother David Jenkins won the gold in 1960. Jenkins later married Carol Heiss, the 1956 Olympic silver medalist and the 1960 Olympic gold medalist. The couple had three children, but none of them became a competitive figure skater.
