Laura Clemesha (born 21 January 1992) is a retired Australian netball player.
Clemesha grew up in the south-eastern Queensland city of Toowoomba and was school captain of her private secondary school Downlands College, before moving to the Sunshine Coast for university and her netball career.[4] She debuted for the Queensland Firebirds in the ANZ Championship competition in 2013 and was part of the team's back-to-back premiership successes in 2015 and 2016.[2] After being utilised off the bench in those years, Clemesha was re-signed to a more high-profile role ahead of the 2017 season, replacing long-time captain Laura Geitz at goal keeper.[5] She continued to play in that role for several years before announcing her retirement at the end of the 2019 season.[6]
Clemesha came out as gay in 2017 in a piece for her local newspaper The Caboolture News.[7]
Clemesha completed a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Class 1 Honours) in 2017 and a Master of Organisational Psychology in 2020 at the University of Queensland.[8]
