William Gavin Clegg (29 June 1869 – 18 May 1949) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of Neville Clegg, he was born at Altrincham in June 1869. He was educated at Winchester College, before going up to Magdalen College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, Clegg made two appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1891, appearing against Gentlemen of England and H. Philipson's XI.[2] He scored 35 runs in these matches,[3] in addition to taking 5 wickets with best figures of 3 for 35.[4] After graduating from Oxford, Clegg became a farmer.[5] He served in the First World War in the Cheshire Regiment, being commissioned as a second lieutenant in January 1916.[6] He later served as the High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1932.[7] Clegg died in May 1949 at Delamere, Cheshire.[8]
