Peter Higson (1 December 1905 - 19 April 1986) was an English cricketer active in the late nineteen-twenties and early nineteen-thirties. Born at Bramhall, Cheshire and educated at Cheltenham College, Higson was a right-handed batsman who played first-class cricket for Lancashire.
Higson made his first-class debut for Lancashire in 1928 after playing five seasons for the Lancashire Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship.[1] His first-class debut was against Sussex at Old Trafford in the County Championship.[2] He played two further first-class matches for Lancashire, against Warwickshire in 1929 and Somerset in 1931,[2] though his appearances for Lancashire remained predominantly for the Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship.[1] He was selected to play a combined Minor Counties team in a first-class fixture against Oxford University in 1933, his final appearance in first-class cricket.[2] Higson scored a total of 51 runs in his four first-class matches, top-scoring with 29.[3]
Following his playing career, Higson was the President of Lancashire County Cricket Club in 1973 and 1974.[3] He died at Hove, Sussex on 19 April 1986. His father Thomas Higson was a first-class cricketer, as was his brother, also Thomas.
