Jermaine Easter (born January 15, 1982 in Cardiff, Wales) is a Welsh professional footballer currently playing for League Two side Wycombe Wanderers. He plays as a striker for the club, and wears the number 9 shirt.

Easter joined Wycombe on January 31, 2006 from Stockport County, after spells at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Hartlepool United, Cambridge United and Boston United. He made 10 starting appearances and one substitute appearance for the club during the 2005-06 season. He managed only two goals, possibly being overshadowed by star striker Tommy Mooney.

Easter is contracted to the club until June 2008. The striker claimed his first league hat-trick this season against Bury on the 19 August. It is the fastest league hat-trick scored by a Wycombe player, timed at 22 minutes, beating Nathan Tyson's 25 minute hat-trick against Lincoln City in 2004. As of 16 September 2006, Easter was the top scorer in the English Football League, with seven league goals.

He scored the only goal of the game for Wycombe Wanderers in their win over Charlton Athletic in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup. He also scored to help Wycombe to a 1st leg draw in the Carling Cup semi-finals in a momentus match for Wycombe against Chelsea. This meant that he has now scored in every round so far and had ended Chelsea's run of clean sheets in the competition.

On January 22, 2007, Easter was subject of transfer speculation regarding a possible move to Premiership sides Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers[1].

On January 26, 2007, Easter received his first call-up to the Welsh national team from manager John Toshack for the friendly against Northern Ireland, and made his debut as a substitute in the game on 6 February 2007[2]. On March 28th He made his first start for Wales against San Marino unlucky not to score a goal

Jermaine has a brother, Jamal, who currently plays for Cardiff City.
