Glenys Lynne Page (11 August 1940 – 7 November 2012) was a New Zealand cricketer who played as a slow left-arm orthodox bowler. She appeared in two One Day Internationals for New Zealand, both at the 1973 World Cup. She played domestic cricket for Auckland.[1][2]

Page made her debut in New Zealand's inaugural ODI match, against Trinidad and Tobago, in which she took six wickets for twenty runs – the best bowling figures by a player on debut in a WODI, and the only bowler to take a six-wicket haul on WODI debut.[3][4][5]

She held the record for best bowling figures by a New Zealander in WODIs from 1973 to 1982, surpassed by Jackie Lord's performance of 6/10 against India at the 1982 Women's Cricket World Cup.[6][7]

Page died in Auckland on 7 November 2012, aged 72.[2]
