Lockhart Christopher Sebastien (born 31 October 1955) is a former cricketer from Dominica who played first-class cricket for the Combined Islands and the Windward Islands from 1972 to 1989. He is the father of current Windward Islands cricketer Liam Sebastien.[1]

Sebastien was an opening batsman and occasional medium-paced bowler. His highest first-class score was 219 for Windward Islands against Leeward Islands in 1978-79, when he and Irvine Shillingford added 202 for the second wicket.[2] He was also an effective one-day player as an all-rounder, winning several player of the match awards, including one in 1981-82 when he dominated Windward Islands' victory over Trinidad and Tobago, taking 4 for 31 and scoring 72 not out.[3]

After his playing career ended, Sebastien worked as a sports officer for many years in the Dominica Ministry of Sports.[4] He managed the Windward Islands senior team for 12 years, served as a director on the Windward Islands cricket board for 10 years, and managed the West Indies A team tours to India in 2013 and Sri Lanka in 2014. He was appointed a West Indies selector in 2016.[5]
