Judith Michell "Jodie" Clatworthy (born 3 April 1972), also known by her married name Jodie Housman, is an Australian former competitive swimmer and individual medley specialist.

As a 16-year-old, Clatworthy represented Australia at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. She competed in the 200-metre and 400-metre individual medley events, advanced to the final of both, and finished fourth and sixth, respectively.[1]

Clatworthy is a three-time Commonwealth Games silver medallist. At the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland, she won her first silver in the women's 400-metre individual medley, finishing behind fellow Australian Suzie Landells.[2] Four years later when Auckland, New Zealand hosted the 1990 Commonwealth Games, she qualified for both individual medley events.[2] In the 200-metre individual medley, she came second behind Canadian Nancy Sweetman, and in the 400-metre individual medley event she was runner-up to Australian Hayley Lewis.[2]

Clatworthy is married to fellow Australian Olympic swimmer Glen Housman.[3]
