Enn Uuetoa (also known as Kihnu Jõnn; 1848–1913) was ship captain from the Russian Empire.^[1]

Uuetoa was born on the island of Kihnu. He was known as a ship captain who was able to command large ships without the use of either a compass or a sextant. He never had a single accident with his ships. He also used to go to the sea when other captains didn't dare to go.^[1]

However, in autumn 1913 he sunk with his ship called Rock City when sailing off the coast of Denmark.^[1]

In 1971, the film Metskapten (director Kalju Komissarov) was made. The role of Kihnu Jõnn was played by Jüri Järvet.^[2]
