Sara Louise Hungerford (born 13 February 1986) is a former Australian cricketer.[1] An all-rounder, she bats right-handed and is a right-arm medium pace bowler.[2][3] After briefly playing List A cricket for Auckland during the 2006–07 season, Hungerford went on to represent the Australian Capital Territory (2009/10–2015/16) and Surrey (2012) in both List A and T20 cricket.[4] She also played for the Sydney Sixers in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) during the 2015–16 season.[5][2][3]

Hungerford was born in Sydney, New South Wales.[5] Outside of cricket, she is a consultant physician and cardiologist.[1][6] Australian Test all-rounder Greg Matthews has described Hungerford as his "guardian angel" due to her efforts in treating his life-threatening salmonellosis in 2014.[7][8]
