Dean Foxcroft (born 20 April 1998) is a South African cricketer who plays domestic cricket in New Zealand.[1]

He made his List A debut for Central Districts in the 2018–19 Ford Trophy on 4 November 2018.[2] Prior to his List A debut, he was named in South Africa's squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[3] He made his first-class debut for Central Districts in the 2018–19 Plunket Shield season on 6 December 2018.[4] He made his Twenty20 debut for Central Districts in the 2018–19 Super Smash on 31 December 2018.[5]

In June 2020, he was offered a contract by Otago ahead of the 2020–21 domestic cricket season.[6][7] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Foxcroft was left stranded in South Africa for the first part of the 2020–21 season.[8] In July 2021, Foxcroft was forced again to miss out playing domestic cricket in New Zealand,[9] after his immigration was not approved due to border restrictions in relation to the pandemic.[10]
