Emma Boyd (born 29 July 2000) is a Canadian international lawn bowler.

Career

Boyd came to prominence in 2017, when she was selected by Canada for the 2017 World Junior Championships in Wales, known as the IIBC Championships. She won the Under-25 mixed doubles gold medal at the Championships. She later moved to live in Australia and joined the Tweed Heads BC.

In 2023, she was selected as part of the team to represent Canada at the blue riband event of the sport, the 2023 World Outdoor Bowls Championship. She participated in the women's triples and the women's fours events. In the fours, Boyd qualified in second place in her group before being eliminated in the quarter final after losing to Scotland. One week later in the triples partnering Joanna Cooper and Baylee van Steijn, the team won a bronze medal after losing to New Zealand in the semi finals.

In 2024, Boyd won the Australian Open fours title with Leanne Chinery, Louise Cronan and Kelly McKerihen. In November 2024, Boyd won the Hong Kong International Classic pairs with McKerihen.
