Travis Michael Head (born 29 December 1993) is an Australian cricketer, currently contracted to South Australia for domestic matches.

From South Australia, former Craigmore Cricket Club [1] junior, Travis Head represented the state at both under-17 and under-19 level, making his debut in the National Under-19 Championships at the age of 17.[2] He went on to play 18 Youth One Day International (ODI) matches for the Australian national under-19 team, including at the 2012 ICC Under-19 World Cup.[3] Having been awarded a rookie contract by the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA), Head made his first-class debut for South Australia during the 2011–12 season of the Sheffield Shield, in a match against Victoria at the Adelaide Oval.[4] He went on to play in each of South Australia's three remaining Shield matches, scoring two half-centuries with a best of 90 runs against Tasmania, which included a 177-run partnership with Michael Klinger (219 not out).[5]

Head remained a regular selection for the 2012–13 season, usually batting in the middle order.[6] He again participated in the National Under-19 Championships, and was named Player of the Tournament for a second consecutive championships.[7] Head subsequently played a single Twenty20 game for the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League, replacing the injured Kieron Pollard in the team.[8] However, shortly after South Australia's win against Victoria in January 2013, he was hit by a car outside a hotel in Adelaide, receiving injuries to his head and back.[9] At grade cricket level, Head plays for Tea Tree Gully.[10]
