Jamie Cureton (born 28 August 1975) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker. He is currently manager of Cambridge City.

He began his career at Norwich City in 1994, and after the club's relegation from the Premier League at the end of the season, has spent the majority of his career in England's lower leagues, apart from a season at South Korean side Busan I'Cons in 2003. One of the only 8 English outfield footballers to have made over 1,000 competitive appearances, his career has spanned nine tiers of the football pyramid from the Premier League to the Essex Senior League, and has seen him score over 350 goals.[4]

He has played professionally in the Football League for AFC Bournemouth, Bristol Rovers, Reading, Queens Park Rangers, Swindon Town, Colchester United, Barnsley, Shrewsbury Town, Exeter City, Leyton Orient and Cheltenham Town, as well as in non-league for Dagenham & Redbridge, Farnborough, Eastleigh, St Albans City, Bishop's Stortford and Hornchurch. He represented England at under-18 level.
