Tapiwa Mufudza (born 20 September 1990 in Harare, Zimbabwe) is a Zimbabwean cricketer who has played first-class cricket for Mountaineers since 2011.

Mufudza has been an off-spinner since he took up the game at Mbizi Primary School in Highfield, Harare. He played for the Takashinga Cricket Club in Harare before being recruited by Mountaineers.[1]

He played his first matches for Mountaineers in 2011-12, and established himself in the side in 2012-13, when he took 13 wickets at an average of 14.92 to lead the national first-class bowling averages.[2] In the Logan Cup match against Southern Rocks he scored 39 batting at number 10, then took 2 for 46 and 5 for 27 in a 116-run victory.[3] In the Zimbabwean T20 competition final against Mashonaland Eagles he opened the bowling and took 4 for 14. Mountaineers won the match and he won the man of the match award.[4]

He played for Cookham Dean in the Thames Valley Cricket League in 2014, taking 80 wickets at an average of 14.86 and making 499 runs at 27.72.[5]

In the Logan Cup in December 2014 he took 7 for 31 in the second innings against Mid West Rhinos, including the first six wickets to fall, to ensure victory for Mountaineers.[6] In January 2015 he played two 50-over matches for Zimbabwe A against Canada, taking two wickets for 56 runs in 20 overs.[7] Later that month, opening the bowling in a List A match against Mashonaland Eagles, he took 4 for 28.[8]
