Raelee Thompson (born 3 August 1945) is an Australian former cricketer who played as a right-arm medium bowler. She appeared in 16 Test matches and 23 One Day Internationals for Australia between 1972 and 1985. She captained Australia during their 1984–85 series against England. She played domestic cricket for Victoria.[1][2]

Thompson became the oldest player in Test cricket to take a maiden five-wicket haul in 1985, doing so against England at 39 years and 175 days of age. During that same series, Thompson captained Australia to victory, reclaiming The Women's Ashes for the first time in 30 years.[3]

She was awarded life membership of Cricket Victoria in 2018, and was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2022.[4][5]
