Yumie Funayama (船山 弓枝 Funayama Yumie?) is a Japanese curler, born April 5, 1978 in Tokoro, Kitami, Hokkaido as Yumie Hayashi (林 弓枝 Hayashi Yumie?). She is currently the alternate for Ayumi Ogasawara's team in Sapporo, Hokkaido, which represented Japan at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
At the age of 12, Funayama began curling in her hometown Tokoro, joining Akiko Katoh's junior team together with Ayumi Onodera. Then Funayama became the third for the team. The team represented Japan at four World Junior Curling Championships (1996, 1997, 1998 & 1999), winning a silver medal in 1998 and another silver in 1999. The team later represented Japan at the 2002 Winter Olympics, finishing in 8th place with a 2-7 record.
After the 2001-2002 season, Funayama and her longtime teammate Onodera moved to Aomori and formed a new team there. The team, called 'Team Aomori', represented Japan at the 2006 Winter Olympics. At the Games, Funayama threw third stones under skip Onodera, and the team finished in 7th place with a 4-5 record, including a surprise win over one of the usual curling powerhouses, Canada. After the 2005-2006 season, Funayama and Onodera announced their temporary retirement. Funayama got married and had a child before returning to the sport in the 2011-12 season.
