Kyle Sinckler (born 30 March 1993) is an English Rugby Union player and is currently playing as a Tighthead prop for Aviva Premiership side Harlequins. Sinckler has represented England at various age grade level; U16, U18, U19 and U20 levels, and the national team.

Sinckler was born in Wandsworth, London, and began playing rugby from the age of eight. Sinckler states that it was his mother, Donna, who instigated his rugby career. According to Sinckler, he was a keen football player but his physical nature meant that it wasn't the game for him. After Donna became aware of Kyle's physicality on the football pitch, she brought him to Battersea Ironsides RFC in Earlsfield, a vibrant growing kids rugby club, where his passion for rugby was born. Sinckler attended Graveney School, Tooting, a non-rugby-playing school, followed by Epsom College until the age of 18. Sinckler began his Harlequins career when Academy coach Collin Osborne saw him, aged 12, playing at one of his various positions, this time full back, for Battersea Ironsides, where his talent was immediately spotted.

Sinckler graduated from the Harlequins Academy squad after playing his first game for the club in their 42–6 thrashing over Gloucester in round 2 of the 2011–12 Aviva Premiership. Although, he only appeared for the last 5 minutes of the game. Sinckler only went on to play one more game for the Harlequins in that same season, coming off the bench against Sale Sharks during their 37–25 victory in the 2011–12 LV Cup. During this season, Kyle was sent to Richmond on loan, where he helped them to promotion to National League One.
