Charles Michell (17 February 1849 — 25 January 1900) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
The son of John Michell, he was born at York in February 1849. He was educated at Haileybury, where he excelled at athletics.[1] After completing his education, Michell entered into the 67th Foot as a cornet by purchase in October 1867, with promotion to lieutenant following in November 1871, at which point he was serving with the King's Royal Rifle Corps. Michell played first-class cricket in 1875, making a single appearance for the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club against the Gentlemen of Kent at the Canterbury Cricket Week;[2] Michell was not originally in the starting eleven, but was a substitute for William Kington. He batted in the Gentlemen second innings and was dismissed for a single run by Dick Penn.[3] He was promoted to captain in July 1864, and was an Instructor of Musketry from 1876. Michell served in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, during which he was present at the Battle of Gingindlovu, and later served in the First Boer War of 1880–81.[1] He retired from active service in December 1882, with a gratuity. He died at his Forcett Hall residence in North Yorkshire in January 1900.[4] His brother, Edward, was also a first-class cricketer.
