Casey Scheidegger (born January 31, 1988 in Red Deer, Alberta) is a Canadian curler from Lethbridge, Alberta. She is a former provincial junior champion and is currently a skip on the World Curling Tour.

Junior career

Scheidegger's junior career involved winning the 2009 Alberta Junior Curling championships with teammates Kalynn Park, littler sister Jessie and Jayme Coutts. The rink represented Alberta at the 2009 Canadian Junior Curling Championships where they finished the round robin in 2nd place with a 9-3 record. However, they ended up losing the semi-final to Manitoba's Kaitlyn Lawes.

Women's career

Scheidegger has been playing in World Curling Tour events since the 2004-05 season. She has played in five Grand Slam events, the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014 Autumn Gold Curling Classic, failing to qualify for the playoffs at any of them.

Scheidegger qualified for her first women's provincial championship in 2011 where she won two games before being eliminated after five matches. Sheidegger qualified for her second provincials in 2012 where she had the same result. She qualified once again in 2013 where she would again win her first two games, and then lose three straight. At the 2014 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, she improved upon her usual result, by winning three games before being knocked out of competition in the triple knock-out event. At the 2015 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, she finally led her team to the playoffs, before she lost to Chelsea Carey. She was not as lucky at the 2016 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts where she was knocked out in the playoff qualifying game.
