Cam Nancarrow, born 9 April 1945 in Sydney,[1] is a former squash player from Australia, who was one of the game's leading world players in the 1960s and 1970s.

Nancarrow made the New South Wales men's team in the 1960s and was a part of their legacy when between 1958 and 1973 members of that team won 78 consecutive matches at Australian carnivals.[2] Nancarrow, Ken Hiscoe, Ted Hamilton, Lionel Robberds and others participated in that time in the four-man squad which eventually recorded a loss to Queensland in 1974.

From 1967 till 1973 Nancarrow was named in every Australian national men’s team selected to compete at the World Men’s Team Championship governed by the World Squash Federation.[3] Those sides were selected in 1967, 1969, 1971, 1973 and 1976 when he was named captain.
