Jason Wayne Strudwick (born July 17, 1975 in Edmonton, Alberta) is a retired Canadian professional Ice Hockey Defenceman.
Strudwick was drafted in the third round, 63rd overall by the New York Islanders in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. He played his first NHL game with the Islanders against the Hartford Whalers on March 30, 1996.
On March 23, 1998, he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks for Gino Odjick. On July 15, 2002, after compiling 367 Penalty Minutes with the Canucks, he signed as a free agent with the Chicago Blackhawks.
After playing for the Hungarian team Ferencvárosi TC of OB I bajnokság during the 2004–05 NHL lockout, he returned to the NHL playing for the New York Rangers, the team with which he signed as a free agent before the lockout on July 20, 2004, for the 2005-06 season.
Strudwick started the 2006–07 season with HC Lugano in Switzerland before signing a contract on March 19, 2007 with the Rangers. Because he signed with the team after the trade deadline, he was not eligible to participate in the playoffs. In July 2007, he signed a one-year contract with the Rangers and played with them through the 2007–08 NHL season.
