Neisha Anne Pratt (born 21 March 1973) is a cricket player, born in New Zealand, who has played international cricket for both Hong Kong and Singapore and also NZ domestic cricket for Northern Districts Spirit. She represented Hong Kong between 2006 and 2011, and also captained the side. She made her Twenty20 International debut for Singapore against Malaysia in August 2018, at the age of 45.
Pratt also captained the side that won the 2009 ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship. She scored a partnership of 76 with Keenu Gill in a group-stage match against China, which was the highest partnership in the group stages, and was also the player of the match in the group stage matches against Kuwait and Malaysia. In the final against Thailand, Pratt scored 27 runs.
In 2012, Pratt became ineligible to play for Hong Kong, as a change in eligibility criteria meant that only players eligible to play in the Asian Games could compete. In protest at Pratt's exclusion, Connie Wong and Keenu Gill withdrew from the 2012 Asian Cricket Council Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup, and were subsequently banned for a year.
