Margaretha Everdine Caroline de Fouw (born 12 May 1966) is a former Dutch cricketer whose international career for the Dutch national side spanned from 1986 to 2008, with matches at Test, One Day International (ODI), and Twenty20 International level. An off spinner, her tally of 26 ODI wickets has only been surpassed by Carolien Salomons and Sandra Kottman for the Netherlands.

Born in The Hague, de Fouw played her club cricket for KZKC (Klein Zwitserland de Krekels Combinatie).[1] Her Dutch national team debut came in the 1986 Women's Quadrangular Tournament in Ireland, where she played against Ireland and Denmark.[2] De Fouw made her ODI debut aged 25, at the 1991 European Championship, which was being held in the Netherlands for the first time.[3]

Aged 42 at the time of her last ODI, de Fouw is by far the oldest women to appear in an ODI for the Netherlands,[4] and her ODI career span of almost 17 years has only been surpassed by seven women worldwide.[5] She is the oldest woman from any country to appear in a Twenty20 International, with Pamela Lavine the only other to have appeared past the age of 40.[6]

In April 2008, de Fouw served as a coach for the ICC European Women's Academy in La Manga Club, Spain.[7] She later gained a Level-3 coaching diploma from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB),[8] and has worked in various development roles with the Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond (KNCB), the governing body for Dutch cricket.[9]
