Cleo Bond (born Helena Spiridis, March 16, 2001) is a professional pickleball player and model from Melbourne, Australia. She competes on the Carvana PPA Tour and in Major League Pickleball, and is represented as a model by Que Models on the Gold Coast.

Bond grew up playing competitive tennis in Victoria, reaching an ITF junior ranking of #351 (December 2018). She won the doubles title at the 2018 Australian Winter International in Sydney and received a wild card into the 2018 Australian Open Girls’ Singles draw.

Off the court, she and Evans co-own Waev, a sustainability-focused Australian swimwear and activewear brand. “Cleo Bond” is her social media persona — follow her on Instagram @cleobond_.
