Jeanette Claire McLeod is a New Zealand mathematician specialising in combinatorics, including the theories of Latin squares and random graphs. She is a senior lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Canterbury, a principal investigator for Te Pūnaha Matatini, a Centre of Research Excellence associated with the University of Auckland,[1]:{{{3}}} an honorary senior lecturer at the Australian National University,[2]:{{{3}}} and the president for three terms from 2018 to 2020 of the Combinatorial Mathematics Society of Australasia.[3]:{{{3}}}

McLeod earned her Ph.D. in 2007 from Australian National University. Her dissertation, Methods in Asymptotic Combinatorics, was supervised by Brendan McKay.[4]:{{{3}}} She is one of the cofounders of Maths Craft New Zealand, a project to popularise mathematics using crafts such as crochet and origami.[5]:{{{3}}}[6]:{{{3}}}[7]:{{{3}}}

In 2019, McLeod and fellow Canterbury mathematician Phil Wilson won the Cranwell Medal for Science Communication from the New Zealand Association of Scientists for their work on Maths Craft.[8] McLeod's advocacy for creative practice within science and research saw her profiled in a Nature careers article in 2021.[9]
