Nicolaas Hendrik Christiaan de Jong Theunissen (4 May 1867 in Colesberg, Cape Colony – 9 November 1929 in Willemsdal, Greylingstad, Transvaal) was a South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1889.
Theunissen was an opening bowler who took 34 wickets in three non-first-class matches for provincial sides against the touring R. G. Warton's XI in 1888–89.[1] In the Second Test at the end of the tour he opened the bowling for South Africa but failed to take a wicket.[2]
In 1889–90 he played two first-class matches in South Africa. In the first, he took 5 for 55 and 6 for 53 for Western Province against Natal.[3] In the second, which began the day after the first one ended, he took 2 for 47 and 7 for 41 for Cape Town Clubs against Natal.[4]
