Juliette Anne Haigh (married name Juliette Drysdale ; born August 4, 1982 in Auckland ) is a former New Zealand rower . In 2010 and 2011 she won the world title in two without helmsman together with Rebecca Scown .

Haigh, who started rowing in 1996, took part in the 2004 Olympic regatta in Athens with Nicola Coles and finished in sixth place. In 2005 the two New Zealanders won the World Cups in Munich and Lucerne and they also won the title at the 2005 World Rowing Championships in Japan. In 2006, fourth place in Lucerne was the best World Cup result for the two of them, and at the 2006 World Rowing Championships in Eton they took second place behind Canadians Darcy Marquardt and Jane Rumball . In 2007 Haigh and Coles won the World Cup in Lucerne, but only achieved fifth place at the 2007 World Rowing Championships in Munich. A year later, the two also took fifth place at the Olympic Games in Beijing .

After a year off, Juliette Haigh returned to the World Cup in 2010 with her new partner Rebecca Scown and the two immediately won in Munich and Lucerne. At the home world championships on Lake Karapiro, about 150 kilometers from Auckland, they won the title by over three seconds over Britons Helen Glover and Heather Stanning . In the 2011 World Cup season, Haigh and Scown won in Hamburg, but lost to the British in Lucerne. At the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled there was a very close decision between the British and New Zealand twos, which Haigh and Scown won with eight hundredths of a second. The following year, Haigh and Scown finished third behind the British and Australian boats in the 2012 Olympic Regatta . In December 2012, she ended her active career as an athlete.

In 2013, Haigh married the New Zealand rower and Olympic champion in the One Mahé Drysdale . The couple have a daughter born in 2014 and live in Cambridge, New Zealand's North Island.
