Mignon du Preez (born 13 June 1989) is a South African cricketer, who was the women's team captain in all 3 forms of cricket Test, ODI and Twenty20 from 2011 to 2016. A right-handed batsman and occasional wicket-keeper, du Preez made her debut for the South Africa national women's cricket team in January 2007, aged seventeen. Besides being the South African player with most matches as captain in both ODI and Twenty20, she is also the highest run-scorer for South Africa women in Twenty20 and the second highest in ODI.

On 21 February 2016, she became the first South African women to score 1,000 career runs in T20I during a match against England.

On 21 June 2016, she decided to step down as South Africa women's captain, after having led the team for almost 5 years (since 2011) in one Test, 46 ODIs and 50 T20Is.

She is studying towards a marketing degree at the University of Pretoria.
