Shandre Alvida Fritz (born 21 July 1985) is a South African former cricketer and current match referee. She played as a right-handed batter and right-arm medium bowler. She appeared in 59 One Day Internationals and 26 Twenty20 Internationals for South Africa between 2003 and 2014. She played domestic cricket for Western Province and KwaZulu-Natal.[1][2]

She was given the captaincy of South Africa in 2007, aged 21, but after an accident at a swimming pool in which she damaged her back, she missed the series against the Netherlands and Pakistan, with Cri-Zelda Brits captaining the side instead.[1]

Fritz became the first South African woman to score a century in a Twenty20 Internationals when she scored 116* against Netherlands at the 2010 ICC Women's Cricket Challenge.[3]

In August 2019, Cricket South Africa appointed her to their Match Referees Panel for the 2019–20 cricket season.[4] In January 2021, she refereed in her first WODI matches, for all three fixtures between South Africa and Pakistan at the Kingsmead Cricket Ground.[5]

In September 2024 she was named as part of an all-female officiating group for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.[6]
