Cephas Chimedza (born 5 December 1984) is a Zimbabwean footballer who can play in a number of positions, (left back, holding midfielder, attacking midfielder and left side midfield.)
He was a member of the Zimbabwean 2006 African Nations Cup team, who finished bottom of their group in the first round of competition, playing all 3 group matches and scoring against world cup bound Ghana. Made his professional debut in the Zimbabwean Premier league in August 2001 against Eiffel Flats. And for the Zimbabwean national team in a friendly match against Botswana in 2003 under Sunday Chidzambwa. He was named Zimbabwean player of the year in 2004 and also nominated for the prestigious sportsman of the year award. He caused a stir in the same year by moving from Dynamos to city rivals Caps United. At Caps United he was part of the team that lost only once the whole season under the tutelage of Charles Mhlauri winning a treble (league championship,buddie cup and zifa unity cup). in the summer of 2005 he joined Belgian side Germinal Beerschot Antwerp on a 2-year contract but not before South African giants Kaizer Chiefs have lodged a complaint to FIFA claiming Chimedza had signed a pre contract with them. He did not last long in Belgium cutting short his stay with Beerschot only after 6 months citing disagreements with the clubs' directors. STVV came to his rescue by signing him on a 4-year contract. he was part of the team that got relegated to the Belgian 2nd tier in his 2nd year. Several teams showed interest in him, nothing materialised and he stayed to play in the division. The team returned to the 1st division. in the 2009-10 season he helped the team to finish a highly 4th and was considered to be of the best performers in the league. unfortunately he suffered a knee injury at the end of that season and has not recovered ending a once promising career.
