Shandre Alvida Fritz (born 21 July 1985) is a South African former cricketer and current match referee. She played as a right-handed batter and right-arm medium bowler. She appeared in 59 One Day Internationals and 26 Twenty20 Internationals for South Africa between 2003 and 2014. She played domestic cricket for Western Province and KwaZulu-Natal.
