Jamie McMaster (born November 29, 1982 in Sydney, Australia) is an Australian football (soccer) player who currently plays as a attacking midfielder for the Central Coast Mariners in the Australian A-League.

McMaster grew up in Gosford, a region on the Central Coast, and played football for Umina United. He began his professional career at FA Premier League club Leeds United in 1999 as a 16 year-old where he joined Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka in the fleet of Australians in the squad and committed his international future to England.

While at Leeds he began to be loaned around to smaller clubs within England. He was loaned to Coventry City in 2002 during the January transfer market, returned to Leeds in 2002 before being loaned to Swindon Town in the January transfer market for the remainder of the 2003-04 season. Upon returning to Leeds for the 2004-05 season he was once again loaned, this time to Chesterfield for the entire season.

McMaster once again returned and once again was loaned off, this time to Peterborough United. Upset with the amount of times he had been loaned out, McMaster requested he be transferred from Leeds while still on Peterborough's list. Following transfer negotiations McMaster moved to AGF Aarhus in Denmark for a very brief period of time before returning home and playing for the Central Coast Mariners in the A-League, where he has remained since.
