Godfrey Cripps (born 19 October 1865 in Mussoorie - now Musuri, India, died 27 July 1943 in Adelaide, Australia) was a cricketer who played in one Test for South Africa in 1891-92.
Born in India and educated at Cheltenham College, Cripps played just four first-class cricket matches, all of them in South Africa. A middle-order right-handed batsman, his first first-class appearance was in the South Africa side that lost to Walter Read's "English" touring team – the side included Billy Murdoch and John Ferris as well as English players.
A season later, Cripps played twice for Western Province scoring a century in the second match against Griqualand West. His final game was the 1893-94 Currie Cup final for Western Province against Natal which his side won inside two days.
In 1894, he was vice-captain of the South African tour team to England, but no first-class matches were played on the tour.
