William Gilbert (4 June 1856 – 4 January 1918) was an English cricketer. Gilbert was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm roundarm fast. He was born at Newick, Sussex.
Gilbert made a single first-class appearance for Sussex against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1879.[1] He was run out for 5 runs in Sussex's first-innings, while in the Marylebone Cricket Club's first-innings he took the wickets of Wilfred Flowers, William Kenyon-Slaney and Arnold Rylott, with Gilbert taking 3/14 from 23 overs. He was dismissed for a duck by Rylott in Sussex's second-innings, with Sussex being bowled out for just 38 to lose the match by an innings and 74 runs.[2] This was his only major appearance for Sussex.
