Gregory Arthur Lamb (born 4 March 1981) is a Zimbabwean former cricketer who played international cricket for Zimbabwe and domestic cricket in England and Zimbabwe. Lamb began his career playing in the Logan Cup for the CFX Academy and Mashonaland A, before moving to England to play county cricket for Hampshire. He played for Hampshire between 2004 and 2008, and after he was released by the county, he played minor counties cricket for Wiltshire in 2009. He returned to Zimbabwe to play for the Mashonaland Eagles in the 2009–10 season, where his good form earned him selection to the Zimbabwe One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) squads. Lamb would subsequently represent them in the 2010 World Twenty20 and the Cricket World Cup, before playing a single Test match in 2011 against Pakistan. He played his last international match in 2011, with his domestic career continuing until his retirement at the end of the 2012–13 season, that had seen him switch to play for the Mountaineers; he later returned to domestic cricket with the Mashonaland Eagles in the 2014–15 season, but retired again following its conclusion. After the end of his professional career, he spent two periods as batting coach of the Zimbabwe Under-19 team.

During his career, he made 70 first-class, 98 one-day and 63 Twenty20 (T20) appearances as an all-rounder, scoring over 5,000 runs across all formats and taking over 160 wickets. In his international career, he made 15 ODI and five T20I appearances, scoring 197 runs and taking 12 wickets in the former.
