Nathan W. Jewett (December 25, 1844 – February 23, 1914) was an American professional baseball player born in New York City who played catcher in the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players for the 1872 Brooklyn Eckfords.
On May 28, 1861, he enlisted in the 71st Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment. In 1918, his former teammate on the New York Mutuals, Phonney Martin, recalled that an early practitioner of the curveball who lacked control was forgotten after Jewett proved unable to reliably catch his pitches.
