Craig Anthony Joseph Meschede (born 21 November 1991) is a South African-born German cricketer. An all-rounder, he bowls right-arm medium-fast, and bats right-handed.

He made his debut for Somerset County Cricket Club in the 2011 Caribbean Twenty20, and played regular Twenty20 cricket for the county during the 2011 English domestic season. He also made occasional appearances in both first-class and one-day cricket. He received modest media coverage when he claimed the wicket of Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar as his first in first-class cricket. Although he was born in South Africa, in May 2019, he was selected to represent the Germany national team.

Meschede's career was cut short by injury at the age of 28, due to suffering from a neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome.[1] However, in September 2021, he was selected to play for the German national team.[2]
