'''Jonathan Mead''' (born April 10, 1967 in [[Regina, Saskatchewan]]) is a [[Canadians|Canadian]] [[curling|curler]] from [[Winnipeg]], [[Manitoba]]. Mead played third for [[Wayne Middaugh]]'s rink (except for provincial playdowns) until the end of the 2009–10 curling season. Beginning in the 2010–11 curling season, he again played third for [[Jeff Stoughton]]'s Manitoba team.

==Career==
Before joining Middaugh, Mead was the longtime third for [[Jeff Stoughton]], whose team he joined prior to the 1999 season. That year, they won the Manitoba provincial championships, [[the Brier]] and a silver medal at the [[World Curling Championships]]. They would return to the 2000 Brier, and again to the [[2006 Tim Hortons Brier|2006 Brier]] but would not win again.

Mead also won the 1986 [[Canadian Junior Curling Championships]] as a third for [[Hugh McFadyen]] and won silver at the [[1987 World Junior Curling Championships]].

In March 2007, it was announced that Mead would join [[Wayne Middaugh]]'s team for the following season on the World Curling Tour. This was mainly done for a run at the [[2010 Winter Olympics]], as Mead would be unable to play for the team in [[the Brier]], as he is not a resident of Ontario.

In April 2010, it was reported that Mead would once again play with [[Jeff Stoughton]]'s rink. He will continue playing at third, while [[Reid Carruthers]], also joining the Stoughton team, will play as second.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.torontosun.com/sports/curling/2010/04/10/13542481.html| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100416034028/http://www.torontosun.com/sports/curling/2010/04/10/13542481.html| archive-date = 2010-04-16| title = Mead rejoins Stoughton four {{!}} Curling {{!}} Sports {{!}} Toronto Sun}}</ref> The reuniting was a success, as the team would go on to win the [[2011 Tim Hortons Brier]] and the [[2011 Ford World Men's Curling Championship]].
