Eric Leslie Kidd (18 October 1889 – 2 July 1984) was an English-born Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and leg spin bowler, he played 147 first-class cricket matches, mostly for Middlesex, and played for the Ireland cricket team on six occasions.
Born 18 October 1889 in Westminster, London, UK, the grandson of Joseph Kidd (1824-1918) and son of Percy Marmaduke Kidd (1851-1942), both eminent doctors, E. L. Kidd was educated at Wellington College, and went on to study at Cambridge University where he made his first-class debut, playing for the university team against Essex in May 1910 and gained his blue when he played against Oxford University later in the year. He remained in the University side for four years and also began to play county cricket for Middlesex, making his debut for them in August 1910 against Yorkshire.
He also played for the MCC and in a few Gentlemen v Players matches, and at the outbreak of World War I was considered as someone who could possibly play Test cricket for England.
