Madeline Perry (born 11 February 1977, in Banbridge, Northern Ireland) is a professional squash player from Ireland. She was raised in Ireland and currently lives in Halifax.
Perry moved across to Halifax, England, to get stronger competition and coaching from former England International Marcus Berrett. There is a maturity about her on and off court. Perry took time out after the Irish Open 2006 to have treatment on her knee and reported that all was well when she played without pain upon her return at the Malaysian Open in July 2006.
In November 2006 at the World Open in Belfast, she justified her seeding of eighth by reaching the quarter finals. She then won Irish Open 2007 title in Dublin. Since then she has maintained steady form, with only one early exit (to Australian Kasey Brown in the CIMB Malaysian Open), but a highlight has perhaps been the defeat to Nicol David in the quarter finals of the Forexx Dutch Open where she took the world number one to 9–7 in the fourth in a very strong performance. However, an off-court fall put paid to the rest of 2007 while she recovered from the resulting serious head injury.
The inactivity caused a dip in her ranking that took her out of the top ten after nearly two years. In her first event back in 2008, in the Buler Challenge in Hong Kong, she reached the final. She then make it to the semis of Seoul Open followed by the semi final berth at the CIMB Singapore Masters from an unseeded position. Madeline reached a career-high world ranking of World No. 6 in April 2006.
