Robert Ringwood (15 April 1815 — 18 February 1875) was an English first-class cricketer.

Ringwood was born at Cambridge in April 1815.[1] A professional cricketer, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge Town Club against Cambridge University at Parker's Piece in 1840. He played for a variety of Cambridge-based teams in first-class cricket, making a total of sixteen appearances to 1849.[2] Ringwood was initially selected in the Cambridge team on his bowling, with him taking 28 wickets in first-class cricket, including three five wicket hauls.[3] Denison, in his book Cricket. Sketches of the Players described how in the three years prior to 1846, Ringwood's bowling had become less effective, while also describing him as a "very powerful hitter" when batting.[1] He scored 274 runs in first-class matches, though never passed fifty, with a highest score of 49.[4] Following his first-class career, Ringwood was employed as a clerk at the University of Cambridge by Trinity College in 1870,[5] and in 1872 by Christ's College.[6] Ringwood died at Cambridge in February 1875,[7] his wife having predeceased him by three years.[6]
