Ross William Norman is a former professional squash player from New Zealand, born on 7 January 1959. He was the 1986 world champion, after beating Jahangir Khan in the final 9-5, 9-7, 7-9, 9-1, which ended Khan's unbeaten run dating back to 1981. He reached a career-high ranking of 2 in the world in December 1985. He first played squash in 1968, won the New Zealand junior title in 1977 and became New Zealand number 1 in 1981. A knee injury from a parachute jump in 1983 changed his training, and he reached the 1984 World Open semi-finals and the 1985 final.
