Kyle James Coetzer MBE (born 14 April 1984) is a Scottish cricketer and former captain of the side in international formats. He captained at under-15, under-17 and under-19 levels including skippering in the 2004 U-19 Cricket World Cup in Bangladesh.
Coetzer was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2019 Birthday Honours for services to cricket. He became the third Scottish cricketer to receive an MBE for services to cricket. In January 2020, Coetzer was named as the Associate Cricketer of the Year by the International Cricket Council (ICC). He announced his retirement from Twenty20 International cricket on 21 July 2022.
His first game for the full Scotland team came in 2003 against Pakistan in a one-day match; he appeared in four National League matches later that season. He is a former captain for the Scotland ODI side. His first ODI century came against Afghanistan in 2011–13 ICC World Cricket League Championship, where Scotland lost to Afghanistan finally. The bad luck continued in 2015 as well, where Coetzer scored a record 156 against Bangladesh in 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup in Nelson in 2015 in a losing cause.
