Jamie Cooper (born 14 June 1964) is an Australian painter and former Australian rules footballer in the VFL/AFL.

Recruited from Surrey Hills, Victoria, Cooper debuted with the Fitzroy Football Club in 1984 and was a fringe player, playing 26 games over four seasons.[1]

Since retiring from playing football, Cooper has developed a painting career, primarily focusing on large-scale historical sporting portraits. In 2008 he was commissioned by the Australian Football League to create a painting to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first game of Australian rules football.[2] He has also created many Team of the century or Dream Scene composite portraits where players from different era's are shown at their prime in a single locker room.[3]
