Jamie A. Korab, ONL, LL.D. (hon.) (born November 28, 1979 in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland and Labrador) is a Canadian curler.
Korab is the lead for the Canadian men's team at the 2006 Winter Olympics skipped by Brad Gushue.
Korab played in two Canadian Junior Curling Championships and three Briers before playing at the Olympics.
At the 1997 Juniors, he played as a third for Randy Turpin. By 2000 he joined up Gushue as his second and they went all the way to the junior finals that year, losing to British Columbia's Brad Kuhn in the final. It was his last year as juniors, so he had to leave the team, but rejoined them for the 2003 Nokia Brier. He would play as Gushue's second once again at the 2004 Nokia Brier and moved back to his lead at the 2005 Tim Hortons Brier. In 2005, the team added two-time world champion Russ Howard at second, which gave them a victory at the Canadian Olympic trials, and a berth at the 2006 Olympic games, where they won the gold medal, defeating Markku Uusipaavalniemi's Finland 10 - 4.
