Laura Cadman is a fictional character on the series Stargate Atlantis portrayed by Jaime Ray Newman. Cadman was a part of a contingent of Marines assigned to Atlantis after contact was restablished between the city and Earth via the Daedalus at the beginning of the series' second season. Cadman is a munitions expert.

While on an off-world mission with scientists Rodney McKay, Radek Zelenka and Carson Beckett, Cadman was swept up by the culling beam of a Wraith dart along with Rodney McKay. The vessel was shut down and with limited power, Sheppard made an a completely random choice and Zelenka rematerialized one of the stored individuals, McKay. Unfortunately, an unforeseen problem occurred and Cadman's mind became joined with that of McKay's. The two were forced to share a body, albeit temporarily. "Duets".

The two were eventually safely separated and Cadman returned to her regular duties on board Atlantis. She appeared again in the episode "Critical Mass" where she was on a long list of suspects possibly responsible for planting a bomb in the city due to her expertise in explosives. The real source of the bomb was found however and had no connection to Cadman or other members of the expedition.
