Motganhalli Laxminarsu Jaisimha About this sound pronunciation  (Telugu: ఎం.ఎల్.జయసింహ) (3 March 1939, Secunderabad, Telangana – 6 July 1999, Sanikpuri, Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh) was an Indian Test cricketer.

M. L. Jaisimha was a right-handed batsman who was noted for his style on and off the field. He bowled medium pace, often opening the bowling for India, and off-breaks, and was a brilliant fielder. But it was the way he went about things that caught the eye. Partab Ramchand wrote after Jaisimha's death that "his slim figure, which he maintained till his last day, the boyish good looks, the inimitable gait, the trademark silk shirt and scarf, the sleeves buttoned at the wrist or the collar turned up - all these attracted immediate attention."Indian Cricket called him a "cultivated stylist".

Jaisimha made his first-class debut at the age of 15 scoring 90 for Hyderabad against Andhra Pradesh. After two indifferent seasons, in 1958-59 he cracked hundreds against Madras and Mysore, the premier teams in the South Zone. 20 wickets in Ranji matches in the same season found him a place in the side that toured England in 1959.
