Cameron Timothy Bancroft (born 19 November 1992) is an Australian cricketer contracted to Western Australia in Australian first class cricket, Gloucestershire in English first class cricket, and the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League. He made his Test debut for the Australian national team in November 2017.

As a result of a Cricket Australia investigation into a ball tampering incident during the 3rd Test against South Africa in March 2018, Bancroft and two others, captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner, were charged by Cricket Australia on 27 March 2018 with bringing the game into disrepute, suspended, and sent home from the tour. The next day, as a result of his involvement in the ball tampering incident, Cricket Australia banned Bancroft from all international and domestic cricket for nine months and from any leadership role in Australian cricket for an additional year.{{cite web|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/player-sanctions-steve-smith-cameron-bancroft-david-warner-australia-cricket-ball-tampering/2018-03-28|title=Tampering trio learn their fate|access-date=28 March 2018|archive-date=12 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612142425/https://www.cricket.com.au/news/player-sanctions-steve-smith-cameron-bancroft-david-warner-australia-cricket-ball-tampering/2018-03-28|url-status=live}} Bancroft made his return to cricket on 30 December 2018, playing for the Perth Scorchers in the 2018–19 Big Bash League season.{{cite web |url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/cameron-bancroft-big-bash-return-bbl-innings-perth-scorchers-hobart-hurricanes-ricky-ponting/2018-12-30 |title=Bancroft fails to deliver in return |work=Cricket Australia |access-date=30 December 2018 |archive-date=30 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181230233450/https://www.cricket.com.au/news/cameron-bancroft-big-bash-return-bbl-innings-perth-scorchers-hobart-hurricanes-ricky-ponting/2018-12-30 |url-status=live }} Bancroft scored 138 not out on his Sheffield Shield return as well.{{cite web|url= http://m.sportskeeda.com/cricket/ball-tamperer-bancroft-smacks-unbeaten-138-on-red-ball-return|title= Bancroft smacks 138 on FC return in Sheffield|date= 24 February 2019|access-date= 24 February 2019|archive-date= 10 November 2023|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20231110184052/https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/ball-tamperer-bancroft-smacks-unbeaten-138-on-red-ball-return|url-status= live}}
