Nathan Andrew McSweeney (born 8 March 1999) is an Australian cricketer and current captain of South Australia.[2] He plays for Glenelg in South Australian Premier Cricket.[3] McSweeney has been earmarked as a future Australian captain and has captained the Australia A and Prime Minister's XI teams.[4]

Usually a conservative batter, McSweeney has shown the ability to be aggressive when batting with the lower order, most notably scoring 28 runs from an over to reach a century in a tenth-wicket partnership with Harry Conway.[5] He is a useful off break bowler, often being called upon to break partnerships.[6]
