Jemma Louise Barsby (born 4 October 1995) is an Australian cricketer who plays for South Australia and Adelaide Strikers. She has previously played for Queensland, Brisbane Heat and Perth Scorchers.[1]

An all-rounder who can bowl with both hands, Barsby is the daughter of former Queensland Bulls opening batsman and coach Trevor Barsby. She developed her ambidextrous off spin bowling skills as a child in her backyard, with assistance from her brother and encouragement from her father, and also has a penchant for switch hitting while batting.[2][3][4]
