Jennifer Patricia Beattie (born 13 May 1991) is a Scottish female international footballer. She currently plays for Manchester City Women of the FA WSL and has represented Scotland at the senior level. Beattie is a tall, strong, right-footed player. Although typically a defender or midfielder, she is also an accomplished goalscorer. She is the daughter of former Scotland and British Lions rugby union player, John Beattie.
Beattie began playing football with her brother Johnnie and his friends, while at primary school. She was eventually selected to the Glasgow Primary School select team, as the only girl, and was named captain. Beattie then played with Hamilton Academical's boys' teams, but began her senior career with Queen's Park Ladies. She played in the Scottish Women's Premier League as a 15-year-old and reached the final of the Scottish Women's Premier League Cup in November 2007. Queen's Park lost 4–0 to a Hibernian Ladies team containing Beattie's future Arsenal team-mate Kim Little.
In January 2008 Beattie moved to Celtic Ladies, but left to join Arsenal Ladies in July 2009. Her first goals for Arsenal came on 8 November 2009 where she scored a stunning treble to seal a comeback against Chelsea after being 2–0 down at half-time.
In March 2010 Beattie played in attack during Arsenal's 2–0 defeat by FCR 2001 Duisburg in the quarter-final of the UEFA Women's Champions League.
After leaving Arsenal in July 2013, Beattie joined French side Montpellier HSC later the same month on a two-year contract. Beattie returned to England with Manchester City Women for the 2015 season.
