Jamie Soward (born 13 November 1984) is a retired Australian professional rugby league footballer. A New South Wales State of Origin and Indigenous All-Stars representative five-eighth, he previously played for the Sydney Roosters, Penrith Panthers and the St. George Illawarra Dragons, with whom he won the 2010 NRL Premiership. He also spent time in England where he played for the London Broncos.

Born in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Soward played his junior rugby league for the Wagga Wagga Kangaroos before Soward began his career in the Canberra Raiders system. He then moved to play with the Sydney Roosters Jersey Flegg side where he helped the club win the 2004 premiership with two last-ditch field goals.

In round 9 of the 2005 NRL season, Soward made his NRL debut for the Sydney Roosters at halfback against the Newcastle Knights in the Roosters 32–2 win at the SFS. Six days before his debut, Soward’s father Peter Soward had died from a heart attack. In round 17, against the Newcastle Knights at Hunter Stadium, Soward scored his first NRL career try in the Roosters 28–14 win. Soward played in 7 matches, and scored 2 tries, in his debut year for the Roosters.
