Jeffrey Robert Hammond (born 19 April 1950) is a former Australian cricketer who played in five Tests and one One Day International (ODI) from 1972 to 1973.
A fast bowler, Hammond made his first-class cricket debut for South Australia in 1969 and was included in the 1972 Australian Ashes tour of England, where he played his sole One Day International, taking 1/41.
Hammond kept his place in the Australian squad picked for the 1973 tour of the West Indies, where, in the absence of the injured Dennis Lillee, he made his Test debut. The role of Hammond and his opening bowling partner Max Walker has been listed as a key factor in Australia's surprise series victory over the West Indies.
