Emma Lindsey is a British writer and journalist. She became the first Black woman sportswriter in Britain when she began her career in sports journalism the 1990s. She later went on to cover issues of race and social justice in The Guardian and The Independent.

Career
Lindsey studied at the London College of Communication (formerly called the London College of Printing), before writing for the Weekly Journal.

Her first major piece in sports journalism - an interview with boxer Chris Eubank for the BBC - caught the attention of Alan Hubbard, who was then the sports editor of The Observer. As a freelancer for the Independent, Lindsey focused on women's boxing, and interviewed Laila Ali, Freeda Foreman, and Jane Couch.
