Charles ("Father") Stowell Marriott (14 September 1895, Heaton Moor, , Lancashire – 13 October 1966, Dollis Hill, Middlesex) was an English cricketer, who played first-class cricket for Lancashire, Cambridge University and Kent. His birth was registered as "Charlie Stowell Marriott".
Marriott was one of the best leg break and googly bowlers of the 1920s and 1930s. Born in Lancashire, he went to school at St Columba's in Ireland, coming back to Lancashire to play in his first first-class match in 1919. He then went on to Cambridge, winning blues in 1920 and 1921. After Cambridge, he went on to become master in charge of cricket at Dulwich College, a post that allowed him to play for Kent County Cricket Club in the school holidays from 1924 to 1937. He continued to be successful, and this led to his call-up for the England Test team for the Oval Test against the West Indies in 1933, aged 37. He took 5 for 37 in the first innings, and 6 for 59 in the second as the Windies lost by an innings and 17 runs in two days and ten minutes, but he played no more Test cricket after that. He remains the only one-test wonder to have taken more than seven wickets.
