Nehemiah Odolphus Perry (born 16 June 1968) is a former cricketer from Jamaica who played four Tests and 21 One Day Internationals for the West Indies between 1999 and 2000. He was a member of the West Indies squad at the 1999 Cricket World Cup, and also represented Jamaica at the 1998 Commonwealth Games.

He has three sons, and his eldest is a professional footballer. He retired from all cricket due to his age and a consistent pain in his wrists in 2004. His best bowling performance of 5/70 came on debut against Australia in a famous West Indian victory where Brian Lara scored 213.
