Jamie Harvey (born August 15, 1955 in Glasgow) is a Scottish darts player who plays in the Professional Darts Corporation. He currently resides in Barrhead. Harvey uses the nickname Bravedart for his matches- a play on the lead character from the film Braveheart. As darts began to introduce entrance tunes for its players during the 1990s, Harvey used to come to stage whilst the tune The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond was played. It was one of the longest and most entertaining entrances in the game at the time.

Having made his World Championship debut in 1992, he was one of the players who started the Professional Darts Corporation (then known as the World Darts Council, WDC) in 1993 and played at every PDC World Championship between 1994 and 2006.

His best performance came in 1996 at the Circus Tavern, when he reached the World Championship semi-finals but lost 1-5 to Dennis Priestley. Later that year he also reached the semi-finals of the World Matchplay - losing 9-13 to eventual champion Peter Evison. He never made the final of any of the major PDC tournaments, but has won the Antwerp Open and also the Scottish Masters in his home country. He remained one of the most popular players on the circuit throughout his career.

Although he has reached the quarter finals of the World Championship in 2001 and the quarter finals of the World Matchplay as recent as 2004, his ranking has slipped in the past few years. He started 2007 ranked 48 in the world, but failed to qualify for the World Championship for the first time that year. In the 2008 World Championship qualifiers, he won four matches before falling at the final hurdle to Jason Barry and he slipped to 73rd in the PDC Order of Merit. He still competed at nine PDC Pro Tour non-televised events in 2007, but collected only £300 in prize money with a last 32 performance being his best. He fell out of the top 100 as a result but after reaching the fourth round at the 2008 UK Open Finals in Bolton he is back in the top 100 at position 86.
