Dewald Pretorius is a cricket player (born 6 December 1977 in Pretoria, South Africa). He is a right-arm fast bowler who debuted for the South African Test team in the second Test against Australia during the 2001/2002 series. He has not featured regularly for his country and last appeared in the fourth Test against England during 2003. Pretorius has also played, at county level, for the English sides Durham and Warwickshire, where he recorded career best List A figures of five wickets for 32 runs against Kent.
Pretorius achieved some notoriety during UK coverage of South Africa's 2003 Test series with England, due to the fact that he was orphaned as a child. During the series his most famous moment is arguably bowling out Alec Stewart with an "in-swinging yorker".
