Nicholas John Kemp (born 16 December 1956) is an English businessman and former professional cricketer.

Kemp was born at Bromley in Greater London and educated at Tonbridge School.[1] [2] He first played for Kent County Cricket Club's Second XI in 1974 before touring the West Indies with a Young England side in 1976 before making his first-class cricket debut for Kent in May 1977 against the touring Australians.[3]

Kemp made a total of 13 first-class appearances for the Kent First XI as well as playing eight times in limited-overs cricket for the county between 1977 and 1981, primarily as a bowling all-rounder. He moved to Middlesex in 1982, making a further five first-class and one limited overs appearances.[4] In his 18 first-class matches he took only 16 wickets, six of which came in one match against Surrey in 1980.

After leaving Middlesex, Kemp developed a finial services career in wealth management, going on to found and manage Stoneford Administration Services, a financial services company.[5] His son, Ben, was a member of Kent's Cricket Academy for young players before progressing to play several matches for the county Second XI and three first-class matches for the Oxford MCC University side.[6] [7]
