Leonard Micklem (12 March 1845 — 7 July 1919) was an English first-class cricketer and railway secretary.
The son of Nathaniel Micklem, he was born in March 1845 at Henley-on-Thames. The Micklem's were an old Nonconformist family. He was educated at Eton College,[1] before going up to Merton College, Oxford. He played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Oxford University Cricket Club at Oxford in 1869.[2] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed for 9 runs in the MCC first innings by Bernard Pauncefote.[3] As a cricketer he was described by Wisden while playing school cricket for Eton as "a good and sure bat, playing in splendid form; a great punisher of loose bowling; a brilliant field at long-leg, a fine thrower and safe catch."[4] Micklem was a prominent figure in the Brazilian railway industry, being elected secretary to the Bahia and San Francisco Railway Company in March 1880.[5] He died at Elstree in July 1919.[4]
From his first marriage to Dora Emily Weguelin, Micklem had as son the clergyman Philip Micklem,. Another son, from his second marriage to Nanette Fenwick, was Robert Micklem, a Commander in the Royal Navy.
