Sameer Dighe  pronunciation  (born 8 October 1968, in Bombay - now Mumbai) is an Indian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a wicketkeeper. His main chance at international cricket did not come until the 1999–2000 season, at which time he was 31 years of age.

On the final day of the Third Test against Australia in Chennai, Dighe made an unbeaten 22 on debut, after a collapse during the run-chase, guiding 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, but numerous wicket-keeping errors lead to his replacement.
