'''Jonas Edman''' (born 4 March 1967 in [[Linköping]]) is a [[Sweden|Swedish]] rifle shooter, specializing in the [[Prone position]]. He was a [[300 metre rifle prone|300&nbsp;m Rifle]] specialist during most of the 1990s and a part of the winning team at the 1998 [[ISSF World Shooting Championships]] in [[Zaragoza]], [[Spain]]. After this however, he started to focus in the Olympic [[50 metre rifle prone|50&nbsp;m Rifle]]. He got a very late [[Wild card (sports)|wild card]] to the [[2000 Summer Olympics|2000 Olympics]] and performed 599, only one point from the maximum (and World record) result, in the qualification round, and managed to keep his lead during the final.

Edman also won the 2001 [[ISSF World Cup]] Final in [[Munich]] after the same score, 599. His results after this have been varying, but he has continued to be one of the best Prone shooters in the world. He currently owns a company that sells shooting equipment, and has also occasionally helped the Swedish [[biathlon]] team with shooting issues.
