Stuart Vance Carlisle (born 10 May 1972 in Salisbury – now Harare) is a Zimbabwean former cricketer who played 37 Tests and 111 One Day Internationals for Zimbabwe. He was also temporarily the captain of the Zimbabwe cricket team, leading them in six Tests and 12 ODIs, and achieving a 2–3 result in an ODI series in India.

Carlisle became the Zimbabwean captain in early 2002. After losing five out of six Test matches he lost the captaincy and was not picked for the 2003 World Cup.

A right batsman, he was often shuffled up and down the order. He made his maiden Test century in October 2003, against Australia at Sydney.

After and unbeaten 103 in a Test against Bangladesh in early 2004, he became involved in the dispute with the Zimbabwean Cricket Board over the controversial sacking of Heath Streak. As one of the rebel players he refused to play for Zimbabwe and after a brief return in 2005 he had had enough of the internal struggles and retired from all forms of the game.

He now owns a sport shop near the Harare cricket ground.
