Glenn James Maxwell (born 14 October 1988) is an Australian professional cricketer who plays for the Australia national cricket team in Twenty20 Internationals (T20I). He also plays for Victoria in domestic cricket and the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League. He previously played both Test and One Day International (ODI) cricket. A right handed all-rounder who is known for his sometimes unorthodox batting, Maxwell originally bowled medium-pace before switching to off-spin at a young age.

After scoring 104 against India in 2017, Maxwell became the second Australian to have scored centuries in all three international cricket formats. Alongside Rohit Sharma, he holds the record for the most career T20I centuries—both having scored 5. At the 2023 Cricket World Cup, he achieved a century in 40 balls against the Netherlands, the fastest century scored at a Cricket World Cup and fourth fastest in ODIs. Against Afghanistan a month later, he set a new record for the fastest double century scored at the same event, the second fastest in ODI cricket—the innings regarded as one of the greatest in ODI history.
