John Walter Inge (31 March 1839 – 9 January 1919) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
The son of Charles Inge, he was born in March 1839 at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire. He was educated firstly at Rossall School until 1853,[1] before attending Charterhouse School from 1853–56.[2] After completing his education, Inge was commissioned into the British Army as a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery in June 1860. Inge made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of Kent against the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club at Canterbury in August 1863.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was run out for 4 runs in the Gentlemen of Kent first innings, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 9 runs by George Milman.[4]
Inge was promoted to captain in November 1872, with him later serving in the Second Anglo-Afghan War of 1878–80, during which he was decorated.[1] He was promoted to major in February 1881, before gaining the rank of lieutenant colonel in September 1887. Having completed five years as a regimental lieutenant colonel, he was retired from active service in September 1892. Inge died at Hollywell Lodge in Oxford in January 1919.[5] His brothers Francis and William both played first-class cricket, as did his great-nephew Will Inge.
