Leonie Anne Coleman (born 5 February 1979 in Tamworth, New South Wales) is a retired Australian cricketer.[1] A wicket-keeper, Coleman played in one Test match and 24 One Day Internationals for the Australian national women's cricket team.[2] Coleman is the 151st woman to play Test cricket for Australia.[3]

After making her international debut against New Zealand in 2004,[4] she suffered an injury which kept her out of the international side for several years.[2] She earned a recall to the national side just before the 2007–08 Ashes series, when first choice wicket-keeper Jodie Fields (then Jodie Purves) broke her thumb in a club match.[5] However, Coleman retired from international cricket following the 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup, after Fields was preferred as wicket-keeper throughout the tournament.[6] Coleman is the 99th woman to play One Day International cricket for Australia.[7]

Coleman played domestic cricket for the New South Wales Breakers from 1996 to 2009, then played for the ACT Meteors from 2009 to 2011.[8]
