Sameer Dighe pronunciation  (born October 8, 1968 in Bombay - now Mumbai) is an Indian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a wicketkeeper. His main chance at international cricket didn't come until the 1999-2000 season, at which time he was 31 years of age and had virtually given up hope of ever achieving a place in the Indian team.

On the final day of the Test in Chennai, Dighe made an unbeaten 22 which saw the Indians securing a historic 2-1 series win. Sourav Ganguly later said that Dighe was to become the first-choice wicketkeeper for the country.
