Lorna Beal (née Larter; 28 November 1923 – 10 August 2020) was an Australian cricketer.[1][2] Beal played seven Test matches for the Australia women's cricket team.[3][4]

Her debut was in 1948 in the first women's Test match between Australia and New Zealand at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.[5] Her final match was in Australia's 1951 tour to England.[6] She kept wicket in Australia's first seven Test matches following World War II.[7]

It was on the 1951 tour that she met her future husband, Roy Beal. She then retired from cricket, and took up golf.[8] Beal was a recipient of an Australian Sports Medal in 2000.
