Jennifer Duncalf (born 10 November 1982, in Haarlem, Netherlands) is a professional squash player from England. She reached a career-high world ranking of World No. 2 in December 2009.

As a junior player, Duncalf won the European Junior Championship title. Duncalf won the European Individual Championship title in 2006 and 2007, and the British National Championship title in 2007 and 2009. She was also a member of the England team which won the World Team Squash Championships in 2006. In 2008, she finished runner-up at the British Open (losing in the final to Nicol David). Duncalf ends the year 2009 on a high when she won three titles in a row—the Soho Square Open, the US Open and the prestigious Qatar Classic.[1]

Duncalf made an appearance on the BBC2 quiz show Eggheads along with four other top-ranked British players, but they were unable to beat the show.

In October 2010, in the women's singles final of the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, Duncalf was defeated by Nicol David 11–3, 11–5, 11–7 in 40 minutes to only settle for the silver medal.[2]
