Kraigg Clairmonte Brathwaite (born 2 December 1992, Black Rock, St Michael, Barbados) is an international cricketer from Barbados who is part of the West Indian cricket team. He is an all-rounder who bats right-handed and bowls off break. On 6 November 2011, he became only the second West Indian to score two Test fifties before his 19th birthday when he made 63 (212) against India in Delhi.

Brathwaite had scored 28 centuries in local cricket in Barbados before being included in West Indian under-15 team competing in the Clico International Under-15 Cricket Championships in 2008. He made his first-class cricket debut for Combined Campuses and Colleges against his home country Barbados on 3 April 2009 where he made 73 runs opening the batting. Later that month, he was selected for the Barbados team to play Guyana at Providence Stadium.

In June 2009, Brathwaite was called into the West Indian squad for the series of Test matches against Bangladesh as a replacement for players participating in a strike called by the West Indies Players' Association.

Brathwaite was a student at Combermere School in Saint Michael, Barbados.

In August 2012, Brathwaite led West Indies under-19 team in the Under-19 World Cup in Australia. In September 2013, Brathwaite toured with West Indies A to India for an unofficial test series he finished with a total of 334 in 6 innings with an average of 55.66. This included two half-centuries and a hundred. In November 2013 Brathwaite got a test recall for West Indies' test match series against New Zealand in December replacing an injured Chris Gayle after attempting a run a in the second One-Day International against India. Brathwaite is also a member of Sagicor High Performance Centre in Barbados. Before Brathwaite reached New Zealand he went through some trouble getting the necessary visa to fly to New Zealand: he had to wait 2 weeks before he was able to fly. On Brathwaite's return to the West Indies he scored 45 and 7.
