Howard Roderick Parkes (31 May 1877 in Birmingham, England – 28 May 1920 in Studland, Dorset) was an English cricketer. A right-handed batsman, he played first-class cricket for London County and Warwickshire.
Howard Parkes' first recorded senior match was for the Gentlemen of Surrey against the Gentlemen of Netherlands. It was an unsuccessful debut, as he was bowled for a duck in each innings. Two years later, he played for the Surrey Second XI against the Lancashire Second XI, and in 1898 made his first-class debut for Warwickshire against Leicestershire.
Between 1897 and 1900 he attended Oxford University. Whilst he did play in trial matches, he never played for the university cricket team, though he did represent them at hurdling. In 1900, he played a second match for the Surrey Second XI, against Glamorgan, in addition to six first-class matches for London County, also representing them against the West Indies.
In November 1904, he played for Shanghai against the Straits Settlements in Hong Kong, opening the batting.
