Jamie Cudmore (born 6 September 1978 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a Canadian rugby union player currently playing for the Top 14 club Oyonnax. Previously Cudmore played for Llandovery RFC, Llanelli RFC, FC Grenoble and ASM Clermont Auvergne. He has been nicknamed 'Cuddles' by his team mates, 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, 2011 and 2015 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.
Cudmore says he "had a bit of trouble growing up". As a teenager he was an enforcer for a drug dealer in his home town and spent a year in a youth detention center following a conviction for assault. He has stated that rugby turned his life around.
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.
