Susan Huggett, known as Sue Huggett (born 29 June 1954 in Bulawayo), is a former field hockey player from Zimbabwe who was a member of the national team that won the gold medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. The women's tournament was reduced by the Western boycott of the Games, and Zimbabwe, invited late and assembled in a matter of weeks, won the event and claimed the only medal the country took home from Moscow. Olympedia lists her in four of the team's five matches, in a round robin that Zimbabwe finished with three wins and two draws. The team's win was the first Olympic medal awarded in women's field hockey.
