Semoy Hackett (born November 27, 1988 in Port-of-Spain) is a track and field sprint athlete who competes internationally for Trinidad and Tobago.^[1] Her personal best in the 100m is 11.09, and 22.49 in 200m.

Hackett represented Trinidad and Tobago at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She competed at the 100 metres sprint and placed fourth in her first round heat, which normally meant elimination. However, her time of 11.53 seconds was among the ten fastest losing times and she qualified for the second round. There she failed to qualify for the semi finals as her time of 11.46 was the sixth time of her race.^[1] Together with Wanda Hutson, Ayanna Hutchinson and Kelly-Ann Baptiste she also took part in the 4x100 metres relay. In their first round heat they did not finish and were eliminated due to a mistake with the baton exchange.^[1]

She ran in the relay at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics, but was retrospectively disqualified and banned for six months because of a failed drugs test for Methylhexaneamine at the National Championships.^[2]

In November 2012 Louisiana State University reported that Hackett had again tested positive for methylhexaneamine at the 2012 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships in June. LSU were forced to vacate their championship win. Trinidadian authorities were told that the positive test had not, as of November 24, yet been reported to the IAAF.
