Emma Margaret Sampson (born 29 July 1985) is an Australian former cricketer who played as a right-arm pace bowler, and was considered one of the fastest in the women's game during her career, bowling at about 118 kilometres per hour (73 mph).[1] She appeared in one Test match, 30 One Day Internationals and five Twenty20 Internationals for Australia between 2007 and 2009. She played domestic cricket for South Australia and Surrey.[2][3]

After the 2009 World Cup, Sampson announced her "shock" retirement from cricket, at the age of 23.[4] Her best international bowling figures came in a One Day International against New Zealand in 2008, where she took 5/30.[5] Sampson did play again for Surrey after her announcement, in the 2009 Women's Twenty20 Cup and 2009 Women's County Championship, but did not play again after the 2009 season.[6][7]

Sampson was the 154th woman to play Test cricket for Australia,[8] and the 108th woman to play One Day International cricket for Australia.[8][9]
