Roald Fourie Badenhorst (born 13 May 1991) is a South African-born New Zealand former cricketer.

Badenhorst was born at Pretoria in South Africa in 1991, the son of a high-level tennis player. His family moved to New Zealand in 2002 and Badencroft first played for Central Districts age-group teams in the 2007–08 season. He made his Hawke Cup debut for Manawatu in 2009–10 before making his first-class cricket debut for Central Districts in 2011–12.

Over three season Badenhorst played 11 first-class and two List A matches primarily as a bowler for Central Districts before moving to play for Otago for the 2014–15 season. Described as a "fringe player" who was brought into the team following good batting performances for his club team, Badenhorst played a further four first-class matches for the team as well as three Twenty20 matches in the Super Smash competition. He played club cricket for Albion Cricket Club in Dunedin and played for club teams in England.

An injury forced him to retire from top-level cricket and Badenhorst has since worked in the recruitment sector in Auckland.
