Lauren Renee Down (born 7 May 1995) is a New Zealand cricketer who has played for Auckland and New Zealand.[1] She made her Women's One Day International cricket (WODI) debut for New Zealand Women against the West Indies Women on 4 March 2018.[2] In January 2020, she was named in New Zealand's Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) squad for their series against South Africa.[3] Later the same month, she was named in New Zealand's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.[4] She made her WT20I debut for New Zealand, against South Africa, on 9 February 2020.[5]

In February 2022, she was named in New Zealand's team for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.[6] However, Down was ruled out of New Zealand's squad after suffering an injury during the fifth WODI match against India.[7] In June 2022, Down was named in New Zealand's team for the cricket tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England,[8] but was later ruled out of the tournament.[9]

Ahead of the 2023–24 season, it was announced that Down was taking a break from cricket for personal reasons.[10]

She returned to the New Zealand squad for their tour of England in June 2024[11] and was also named in the travelling party for their One-Day International series in India in October that year.[12]
