Friday Kasteni (born 25 March 1988 in Kadoma, Zimbabwe) is a Zimbabwean cricketer. He is a left-handed aggressive batsman.

He scored a century on his first-class debut for Midlands against Matabeleland in April 2005. He went on to represent Zimbabwe at the Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka in 2006. Kasteni made his One Day International debut in February 2007, against Bangladesh.

Kasteni was then selected in Zimbabwe's 2007 World Cup squad. He was the only surprise inclusion, having played just one previous one-day international, with the veteran of 15 Tests, Hamilton Masakadza, left out. In his first World Cup innings, he was out for a golden duck.

In a controversial move by the selectors, Kasteni replaced Terrence Duffin, one of the teams most experienced players, for Zimbabwe's final two World Cup games. The move did not pay off, and Kasteni scored just 9 runs at an average of 4.50.

His short-term international career appears uncertain, having been overlooked for several A-team and national team series against South Africa and India A.
