Claude Vincent Godby Haines (17 January 1906  - 28 January 1965) was an English cricketer. Haines was a right-handed batsman. He was born in Bristol and educated at The King's School, Canterbury.[1] He was known by his nickname of Bob.

Having played for the Kent Second XI in 1924, Haines joined Glamorgan nearly a decade later, making his first-class debut for the Welsh county against Nottinghamshire in the 1933 County Championship. He made eleven further first-class appearances for Glamorgan, the last of which came against Somerset in the 1934 County Championship.[2] In his twelve first-class appearances, he scored a total of 350 runs at an average of 19.44, with a high score of 59.[3] This score, which was one of two fifties he made, came against Sussex in 1933.[4] During World War II, Haines was the match secretary for the British Empire XI,[1] and following the war he played three matches for Devon in the 1946 Minor Counties Championship.[5]

He died at Lower Cwmtwrch, Glamorgan on 28 January 1965. His father, Alfred, played first-class cricket for Gloucestershire.
