Soraca Jonin (fl. 1678) was an Irish religious patron.
Jonin was a member of the Mac Jonin (Jennings) family of Ironpool, Kilconly, Tuam. Her family were one of the many branches of the Burke family of Connacht. She was related to General Charles Edward Jennings de Kilmaine.
In 1678, Soraca erected a chapel for the family in Ross Errilly Friary, Headford, which bears the following inscription:
