Ruhan Pretorius (born 2 March 1991) is a South African cricketer.[1][2] Since 2015, he has played cricket in Ireland, and in 2019 moved to Northern Ireland.[3] In November 2020, he was released by his club, North Down, due to financial reasons.[4] Pretorius will become eligible for international selection through residency for the Ireland cricket team in 2022.[5]

He was included in the KZN Inland squad for the 2016 Africa T20 Cup.[6] He was the leading run-scorer in the 2017–18 CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge tournament for KwaZulu-Natal Inland, with 340 runs in ten matches.[7] In September 2018, he was named in KwaZulu-Natal Inland's squad for the 2018 Africa T20 Cup.[8]

In February 2021, Pretorius was added to the Ireland Wolves' squad for their tour to Bangladesh.[9] However, during the first Unofficial ODI match of the tour, Pretorius tested positive for COVID-19, with the match being abandoned after 30 overs.[10]
