Devon Eugene Malcolm (born 22 February 1963) is a former English cricketer.
He played in 40 Test matches for his adopted country, but took part in just ten One Day Internationals.
On his day he was one of the fastest bowlers in world cricket, but his playing style was also notable for his short-sightedness and poor catching, his powerful throwing arm, his perceived profligacy with the ball and his undoubted ineptitude with the bat, with his batting and fielding being described as of "court-jester standard". His under-average ability as a batsman seemed however to add to his popularity, and he was often given a big cheer when he went out to bat, more often than not at number eleven, a position for which he was often in competition with Phil Tufnell.
He hit some huge sixes for both England and Derbyshire and was a particular favourite of commentator Brian Johnston. As the cricket writer, Colin Bateman, noted, "Malcolm, incredibly wholehearted with an easy charm off the field, became a national hero".
