Stuart Vance Carlisle (born 10 May 1972) is a former Zimbabwean cricketer who played 37 Test matches and 111 One Day Internationals for Zimbabwe. He also captained the side briefly, leading them in six Tests and 12 ODIs, and achieving a 2–3 result in an ODI series in India. He has the unique distinction of being the only Zimbabwean player to have scored both ODI and test century against Australia.

He was denied the opportunity and long rope of potentially being a prominent and integral member of the Zimbabwean side during his peak years due to the tensions he and fellow white players had with Zimbabwe Cricket. He was known for his unorthodox playing style in his short international career and was also lauded for being an athletic fielder during his playing days.
