Fallon Suzanne Michelle Sherrock[2] MBE (born 2 July 1994[3]) is an English professional darts player who plays in World Darts Federation (WDF) and Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. Born in Milton Keynes,[4] Sherrock reached the final of the 2015 BDO Women's World Darts Championship, where she was runner-up to Lisa Ashton.

In 2019, Sherrock became the first female player to win a match, and subsequently, two consecutive matches, at the PDC World Championships, first by beating Ted Evetts 3–2 in the first round, and then Mensur Suljović 3–1 in the second round, before eventually losing 2–4 to Chris Dobey in the third round.[5] The event saw her earn the nickname "Queen of the Palace" from the name of the venue, the Alexandra Palace.[6]

During the 2021 Grand Slam of Darts, Sherrock became the first woman to reach the last 16 of a mixed gender major darts tournament, after she beat Gabriel Clemens 5–3 in her final group stage match. She then went on to beat Mensur Suljović 10–5 in the last 16, to reach the quarter-finals and become the first woman in darts history to do so. She was beaten in the quarter-finals by Peter Wright 13–16. In 2022, Sherrock won the inaugural Women's World Matchplay.[7]
