Sandeep Lamichhane (Nepali: सन्दीप लामिछाने, Nepali pronunciation: [sʌndip lamit͡sʰane] ; born 2 August 2000) is a Nepalese international cricketer, and former captain of the Nepal national cricket team.

A right-arm leg spin bowler, Lamichhane has played for Twenty20 franchise teams around the world, including the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League (BBL), and the Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). In the Bangladesh Premier League, he previously represented the Sylhet Sixers in 2019 and was signed by the Rajshahi Warriors for the 2025–26 season. He is Nepal's highest wicket taker in ODIs and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).

Lamichhane made his T20I debut against the West Indies, where he represented a World XI team. He became the first cricketer to make a T20I debut representing a combined team. Lamichhane was one of the eleven cricketers to play in Nepal's first One Day International (ODI) match, against the Netherlands, in August 2018. In December 2021, Lamichhane was named the captain of Nepal national cricket team by Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), replacing Gyanendra Malla.
