Samantha May (born 16 September 1987 in Sydney, Australia) is an Australian netball player. May played with the Sydney Swifts in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy. [ [http://www.abc.net.au/netball/profiles/swifts.htm ABC Sport: 2006 Swifts team profile] ] She plays goal keeper, goal defence and wing defence for the state league team as well as on the Swifts. May suffered an ankle injury during a training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport on 16 July 2006, when she landed on an attacker's foot and rolled out after a rebound. Completely tearing (grade 3) the anterior cruciate ligament and suffering a grade 2 tear to the posterior cruciate ligament, she subsequently missed out on 6 weeks of training and competition, including the CBT grand final which the Swifts won. She recovered in time to compete in the remaining season of the state netball league.

In April 2008, May was confirmed as a player in the Australian 21/U squad.
