Colin de Grandhomme (born 22 July 1986) is a Zimbabwean-born former New Zealand international cricketer. He was a member of the New Zealand team that won the 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship. He was a part of the New Zealand squad to finish as runners-up at the 2019 Cricket World Cup. He was highly rated by New Zealand cricket for his explosive aggressive batting abilities who could swing the bat by batting lower down the order as he was tailor made for such role in his international career. He also cemented his place as a regular mainstay of the New Zealand team in across all three formats for his gentle disciplined medium pace bowling. He qualified to play for New Zealand through residency. His father Laurence de Grandhomme was also a cricketer who played first-class matches in Zimbabwe. His great-uncle Bunny de Grandhomme also played first-class cricket.
