Jamie Cudmore (born 6 September 1978 in Winnipeg, Manitoba)^[1] is a Canadian rugby union player currently playing for the Top 14 club ASM Clermont Auvergne. Previously Cudmore played for Llandovery RFC, Llanelli RFC and FC Grenoble. He has been nicknamed 'Cuddles' by his team mates,^[2] an ironic moniker considering Cudmore's tough and ruthless style of play.

Cudmore made his debut for Canada in 2002 against the United States and has appeared in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 Rugby World Cups.

On 29 May 2010 Cudmore's team ASM Clermont Auvergne won the Top 14 Championship, beating USA Perpignan 19–6 at the Stade de France. The win marked the first French national title in the club's history.

On July 8, 2011 it was announced that Cudmore would represent Canada at the 2011 Rugby World Cup.^[3]

Cudmore's younger brother is actor Daniel Cudmore, who starred as the mutant Colossus in the X-Men films. His other younger brother, Luke Cudmore, has represented the Canada U21 rugby team.^[5]
