Coert Frederick Cronjé (born 11 May 1988 in Vereeniging, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Falcons. His regular position is outside centre, but he can also play at inside centre or on the wing.
He went to Kempton Park secondary school Jeugland Hoërskool and was selected in the Falcons' squad for the 2006 Under-18 Craven Week competition held in Pretoria.
In 2007, he made the very short journey to Johannesburg to join the Golden Lions academy. He played for the Golden Lions U19 side during the 2007 Under-19 Provincial Championship and for the Golden Lions U21 side during the Under-21 Provincial Championships in 2008 and 2009.
In 2010, failing to make the breakthrough to the Golden Lions' senior side, Cronjé returned to the Falcons. His first match for the Falcons was in a compulsory friendly match against a Sharks Invitational XV in Nigel. His first class debut in a competitive match came during the 2010 Currie Cup First Division competition when he started in their match against the Griffons in Welkom. His first season proved to be a very memorable one; not only did he start all ten of the Falcons matches during the competition, but he also scored nine tries during the competition, to finish as the joint-top try scorer. He also scored two hat-tricks during the competition, the first in his fourth match against the SWD Eagles in Kempton Park and the second in their final match of the season against the Border Bulldogs.
