Jeremy Nicholas Snape (born April 27, 1973 in Stoke-on-Trent) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and bowls right-arm offbreak. Outside of cricket, he has a Masters in Sports Psychology and has worked with a variety of national cricket teams.

His career started in 1991 at Northamptonshire. Though in the first season the side was victorious in the NatWest Trophy, the rest of his years in the county produced no further trophies, and he decided on a move to Gloucestershire for the beginning of the 1999 season. There he was a part of the treble-winning side of 2000.

Snape made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in 2001-02 and won the Man of the Match award in his first game: he played a further nine ODIs for England over the next year, despite leaving Gloucestershire at the end of the 2002 season and signing for Leicestershire. He was part of the Leicestershire side that won the Twenty20 Cup in August 2004.

After hardly playing in Leicestershire's 1st XI in 2005 it was something of a surprise that he was appointed captain for 2006 when HD Ackerman stood down. Snape has been a disappointment as he has only scored one fifty and taken three wickets so far this season in the longer form of the game. He has also guided Leicestershire to only one championship win. He had more success in Twenty 20 cricket where he guided Leicestershire to their second Twenty20 cup win in 3 years.

During the 2007 Cricket World Cup, while attached to the England squad as a psychologist, he was fined for not preventing inappropriate behaviour from English players.

In August 2007, Snape was recalled to the England squad for the 2007 Twenty20 World Championship. He is now considered a Twenty20 specialist due to his success with Leicestershire.

In June 2008, Snape announced his retirement from county cricket, to concentrate on his outside interests. He made his last appearance on 24th June in a Twenty20 match against Nottinghamshire. Fittingly, he contributed to the 5 run victory - scoring an unbeaten 11 and taking 1-10 off two overs.

He is now the South Africa Performance Coach for the Test Series against England, Summer 2008.
