Henry Tubb (16 June 1851 – 8 February 1924) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.

The son of Henry Michael Tubb, he was born at Bicester in February 1851 and was educated at Rugby School.[1] A keen cricketer, Tubb played club cricket for Bicester Cricket Club.[2] He played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club between 1873 and 1877, making five appearances all against Oxford University at Oxford.[3] Described by Scores and Biographies as a "good batsman" and a "middle-paced round-armed bowler",[4] he scored 93 runs in his five first-class matches, with a highest score of 24,[5] while going wicket-less with the ball.[6] Tubb was dismissed caught in unusual fashion in a club match when he struck a ball into the air, which then hit a swift and fell into the hands of a fielder.[7] A well known figure in Oxfordshire cricket, Tubb was a founding member of the original Oxfordshire County Cricket Club and presided over its second public meeting in March 1891 at the Clarendon Hotel, during which he was elected a vice-president of the county club.[8] Outside of cricket, he worked in Bicester as a banker.[4] Tubb died at Chesterton in February 1924, following a short illness;[9] the month before his death he had been elected president of the Oxfordshire Agricultural Society.[10]
