Celeste Raack (born 18 May 1994) is an Australian-Irish cricketer who plays as an all-rounder for Typhoons and Ireland. She holds an Irish passport and was selected to represent Ireland in October 2018, making her full international debut the following month. She previously played in Australia for Tasmania and Hobart Hurricanes.

Originally from Sydney, New South Wales, Raack was the second leading wicket taker in the 2011–12 Sydney First Grade competition. That season, she also toured with the NSW Second XI for a tri-series against the Victorian Second XI, and with her leg spinners bagged a match-winning 4–11 in one of the matches. Additionally, she represented NSW at the U18 National Championship, claiming eight wickets at 8.88 with a best of 4–14.

For the 2012–13 season, Raack was awarded a Basil Sellers scholarship, and for 2013–14, she was selected in the Cricket NSW Academy Development squad.

Raack was then recruited by Tasmania for the 2014–15 season. She quickly achieved prominence by taking 4–41 in a Twenty20 match against the ACT Meteors. During the following off-season, she moved permanently to Tasmania after finding a full-time job.

Raack debuted for Hobart Hurricanes against the Melbourne Stars during its inaugural WBBL|01 season (2015–16). She remained in the Hurricanes squad for the WBBL|02 season (2016–17).

Off the field, Raack completed a Bachelor of Health Science/Master of Physiotherapy at the University of Western Sydney, and has worked in Hobart as a physiotherapist.

In October 2018, she was named in Ireland's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament. She made her Women's Twenty20 International cricket (WT20I) debut for Ireland against Pakistan Women on 13 November 2018.

In August 2019, she was named in Ireland's squad for the 2019 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament in Scotland. In July 2020, she was awarded a part-time professional contract by Cricket Ireland for the following year.
