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 of the University of Canterbury, a principal investigator for Te Pūnaha Matatini, a Centre of Research Excellence associated with the University of Auckland,[1] an honorary senior lecturer at Australian National University,[2] and the president for the 2018 and 2019 terms of the Combinatorial Mathematics Society of Australasia.[3]

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