Hannah Louise Macleod[1] (born 9 June 1984) is an English field hockey player.

Macleod began her youth career at St Ives Hockey Club, Cambridge, and rose up the ranks to play for their first team.[2] She went on to play club hockey for St Albans, Leicester and Loughborough Students.[3]

She made her international debut in 2003. She competed for the Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics, helping the team win bronze.[4][5]

In October 2012, the Olympic medals of Macleod and Alex Partridge were stolen along with their jackets during a night at Mahiki in London.[6] The stolen medal was recovered when it was sent anonymously by mail to the headquarters of England Hockey.[7]

In the 2016 Summer Olympics, Macleod played the GB field hockey team again. The team won gold medal.[8]
