Caroline H. Rambaldo (born 7 January 1971) is a former Dutch international cricketer whose career for the Netherlands national women's side spanned from 1997 to 2001. She played a total of 23 One Day International (ODI) matches, and appeared at the 1997 World Cup.

Rambaldo made her international debut at the relatively late age of 26, appearing in the second match of a two-ODI series against Denmark, which was played in Germany in July 1997. Later in the year, she played another three ODIs against Sri Lanka, as part of the Netherlands' preparation for the 1997 World Cup in India.[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/17/17211/Womens_ODI_Matches.html Women's ODI matches played by Caroline Rambaldo] – CricketArchive.
