Jamie McLeod-Skinner (born May 31, 1967) is an American lawyer, engineer, and politician. She ran for political office in Oregon many times. She was the Democratic nominee for Oregon's 5th congressional district in the 2022 election.

When she ran for congress in 2022, she beat seven-term incumbent U.S. Representative Kurt Schrader in the Democratic primary for Oregon's 5th congressional district in an upset victory. She lost the general election to Republican former Happy Valley Mayor Lori Chavez-DeRemer.

McLeod-Skinner tried to run again for congress against Chavez-DeRemer in 2024, but lost in the Democratic primary to Janelle Bynum.
