Reymond Hervey de Montmorency (6 October 1871 – 19 December 1938) was an English cricketer. De Montmorency was a right-handed batsman who bowled both leg break and right-arm slow-medium.
Born in Gonda, in India, de Montmorency was the son of Major Reymond Hervey de Montmorency and Marion Ellen Coles. He was educated at Cheltenham College, before attending Keble College, Oxford. He made his first-class debut playing for Oxford University Past and Present, a team composed of then current and former students, against the Gentlemen of Philadelphia in 1897. De Montmorency batted once in the match, scoring 31 runs before being dismissed by Percy Clark.
De Montmorency made his debut for Hertfordshire in the 1898 Minor Counties Championship against Cambridgeshire, which was his only appearance for the county that season, while the following season he once more made a single appearance for Hertfordshire, against Buckinghamshire. It was in 1899 that he played his first first-class match for Oxford University Cricket Club, which came against Surrey. He played 2 further first-class matches for the University, all in 1899, against the Marylebone Cricket Club and Cambridge University. It was in the match against Cambridge University that he scored his only first-class half century, making 62 runs. He left Keble College with a Master of Arts.
