Heather Strong (born November 9, 1976 in St. John's, Newfoundland) is a Canadian curler. She currently skips her own team out of the St. John's Curling Club in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
Strong made her first national debut at the age of 15, at the 1992 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, playing lead stones for Cheryl Cofield. The team had a difficult run at the event, finishing round robin with a 4-7 record.
Strong returned to the 1995 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, this time skipping her own team. She would only win two games, finishing round robin in last place with a 2-9 record.
The following year Strong returned to the 1996 Canadian Juniors, this time coming out with a better record. The team finished round robin in a four-way tie for third. The team lost the tiebreaker to Saskatchewan's Cindy Street.
Strong's final junior appearance would be at the 1997 Canadian Junior Curling Championships. Her sister Laura Strong would join the team at lead, however it would be a disappointing event for Strong, only finishing round robin with a 5-7 record.
Strong made an easy transition from Juniors to Women's play. In 1998, Strong won her first provincial women's championship, which earned her the right to represent Newfoundland at the 1998 Scott Tournament of Hearts. She did not find success at the event, finishing 4-7 in round robin play.
In 1999 Strong was again provincial champion and represented Newfoundland and Labrador at the 1999 Scott Tournament of Hearts. There she improved upon her previous record, finishing round robin with a 5-6 record, just missing the playoffs.
