Bismah Maroof (born 18 July 1991) is a Pakistani former cricketer who played as an all-rounder, batting left-handed and bowling right-arm leg break. In June 2022, she became the highest runs scorer for the Pakistan women's cricket team in both ODI and T20I formats (more than 2000 runs in each). She has appeared for Pakistan in over 200 matches, captained the side between 2013 and 2020, and was the first woman to score 1,000 runs in ODIs for Pakistan. In April 2021, Maroof took a break from cricket to give birth, before confirming her return to availability in December 2021 ahead of the 2022 World Cup. She has played domestic cricket for Lahore, Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited and Pakistan Universities. As of 2022, she holds the world record for having scored the most runs in the history of Women's ODIs without a single career century with 3,017 runs.

On 23 March 2023, Bismah was awarded the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, Pakistan's fourth-highest civilian honour.
