Donald Kenyon (15 May 1924 – 12 November 1996) was an English first-class cricketer, who played in eight Tests for England from 1951 to 1955. He captained Worcestershire between 1959 and 1967.

Cricket writer, Colin Bateman, noted, "A polished batsman who relished taking on fast bowlers, he became the heaviest scorer in Worcestershire's history with more than 37,000 first-class runs to his credit".{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/149527.html |title=Lord of the crease |date=14 May 2007 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=17 May 2017}}
