Marchant de Lange (born 13 October 1990) is a South African cricketer who plays for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club.

He is a right-arm fast bowler and tail-end right-handed batsman and was called up to the South Africa squad from relative obscurity and little first-class experience for the series against Sri Lanka in 2011, returning figures of 8/126 on Test debut, including 7/81 in the Sri Lankan first innings.

He is qualified to play in English county cricket due to his British spouse.
