Jamie Silverstein (b. December 23 1983, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American Ice dancer. Her most recent partner was Ryan O'Meara, with whom she is the 2006 U.S. bronze medalist and competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Silverstein grew up in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh.
Prior to skating with O'Meara, Silverstein competed with Justin Pekarek, with whom she won the 1999 World Junior title, and briefly skated with Brandon Forsyth after the partnership with Pekarek ended.
After she and Forsyth parted ways, she left competitive skating for a period. During that time, she struggled with an eating disorder and attended Cornell University.
In the spring of 2006, Silverstein and O'Meara announced they would be taking time off from competitive skating. She planned to return to school and complete her degree.
