Nate Kaeding (born March 26, 1982) is an American football placekicker who currently plays for the San Diego Chargers of the NFL. He was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in 2004 in the 3rd round with a pick acquired from Rivers-Manning Trade. The Coralville, Iowa native played college football at the University of Iowa, where he won the Lou Groza Award in 2002. His nickname is "Big Game Nate." He had lived up to the nickname even in high school by playing in state championship games for three different sports (basketball, football and soccer) at Iowa City West High School.

In January, 2005, Kaeding became only the second rookie in NFL history to attempt a potential game-winning field goal in the playoffs, in the 4th quarter or overtime. His attempt missed, and the Chargers lost in the wild card round to the New York Jets, who won the game on a Doug Brien field goal.

In the 2007 Pro Bowl, Kaeding kicked a game winning 21 yard field goal with 4 seconds left.

Kaeding's postseason struggles continued in the 2006 NFL Playoffs, when he missed a game tying 54-yard field goal attempt against the New England Patriots. He had not missed a field goal at home in the previous two years prior to that 54-yard attempt.
