Jakie Kim Wellman (also Matana Wellman, born July 22, 1988) is a Zambian swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events. She is a high school graduate of Kelly College in Devon, England, and a member of the swimming team for the Missouri State Bears, while attending the Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri, United States.

Wellman qualified for the women's 50 m freestyle, as a 16-year-old, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by receiving a Universality place from FINA, in an entry time of 28.39. Swimming in heat four, she raced to fourth place by 0.13 of a second behind Aruba's Roshendra Vrolijk in 28.56. Wellman failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed fiftieth overall out of 75 swimmers on the last day of preliminaries.
