Arthur Cazenove (12 February 1823 – 10 August 1893) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.

The son of Philip Cazenove, the founder of the stockbrokers Cazenove, and Emma Knapp, he was born at Clapton in February 1823.[1] He later studied at Exeter College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University from 1851 to 1853, making seven appearances.[3] He scored 129 runs in his seven matches, at an average of 16.12 and a high score of 37 not out.[4] With his roundarm medium pace bowling,[5] he took 15 wickets.[6]

After graduating from Oxford, Cazenove took holy orders in the Church of England. His first ecclesiastical posting was as vicar of St Mark's Church in Reigate.[2] He later held the post of honorary canon of Rochester Cathedral.[1] He married Letitia Georgiana Thomson in 1856, with the couple having three children.[1] Cazenove died in August 1893 at Cranborne, Dorset. His grandson was the soldier Arnold Cazenove and his great-grandson was the actor Christopher Cazenove.
