Joost Leemhuis (born 27 August 1969) is a former Dutch international cricketer who represented the Dutch national side between 1992 and 1999. He played as a left-arm medium-pace bowler, although he batted right-handed.
Leemhuis began his club career for HCC (based in The Hague), but later switched to VRA Amsterdam.

His best performance came against Ireland, where he finished with 3/34 from six overs, although he also took 2/19 against Gibraltar.

His best figures came against Ireland, where he finished with 3/27 from 10 overs. In May 1999, Leemhuis played in a NatWest Trophy match against the Lancashire Cricket Board, which held List A status.
