Sir Kenneth Lloyd Gibson, 2nd Baronet (11 May 1888 – 14 May 1967) was an English cricketer who played for Essex from 1909 to 1912.
Gibson was born in Kensington, London, and educated at Eton College.[1] He appeared in 42 first-class matches as a right-handed batsman and wicketkeeper. He scored 959 runs and took 62 catches and 11 stumpings.[2] His fullest season was 1911, when in 20 matches he scored 533 runs at an average of 19.74 and took 35 catches and 6 stumpings.[3] He made his highest score of 75 that season against Surrey.[4]

He married Mary Edith Elwes in February 1914; they had two daughters.[5] While serving with the Dragoon Guards in World War I he was mentioned in despatches.[1] He was Clerk of the Course at Sandown Park Racecourse in the 1950s.[6]
