Duanne Olivier (born 9 May 1992) is a South African cricketer who plays for the South Africa cricket team and for the Knights cricket team in domestic fixtures. He is a right-arm fast-medium bowler.[2]

In February 2019, Olivier signed a Kolpak deal to play for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in England,[3][4] which meant he could not play for South Africa during his contract with Yorkshire.[5] After signing his Kolpak deal, Olivier expressed his hopes to one day play for the England cricket team.[6][7] When the Kolpak deal ended in 2021 due to Brexit, Olivier continued as an overseas player for Yorkshire and was selected in South Africa's Test squad ahead of their series against India.[8]
