Monalisa Urquhart (née Codling; born 20 April 1977) is a former rugby union player for New Zealand and Auckland. She previously played for Otago.

Codling attended Kelston Girls' College and played for the Black Ferns from 1998 to 2010.[1] The 2010 Rugby World Cup was her fourth successful World Cup.[2] She was also a part of three other successful Rugby World Cup campaigns — 1998, 2002, and 2006.

Codling almost missed the 2006 Rugby World Cup because she had a serious case of chickenpox.[3] She scored a try in the final just before halftime after running 40 metres.[3]

Codling spent some time in France working for the British Council as a Finance and Operations Manager.[3]
