Richard Allan Kettleborough (born 15 March 1973) is an English international cricket umpire, and former first-class cricketer who appeared in 33 first-class matches for Yorkshire and Middlesex. He was a left-handed top order batsman and occasional right-arm medium pace bowler. He attended Worksop College and was a member of the College cricket XI for a number of years.
Having been appointed to the ECB list of first-class umpires in 2006, he officiated with Ian Gould in an international Twenty20 between England and Australia in August 2009 and was subsequently elevated to the full International Panel of ICC Umpires in November 2009 and the Elite Panel of ICC Umpires in May 2011. He has won the David Shepherd Trophy for ICC Umpire of the year in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
He made his debut for Yorkshire in 1994, and scored his only century in 1996 against Essex. He played for the Tykes until 1997 when, after failing to establish a permanent place in the first team, he moved to Middlesex for two further seasons. In 2000, he appeared for the Yorkshire Cricket Board in one day cricket and helped his club, Sheffield Collegiate, win both the Yorkshire ECB County Premier League and the National Club Championship. He toured Australia with an MCC team in 2002.
After progressing through the Yorkshire age group set up, he scored 1,258 runs in his first-class career, with one century and an average of 25.16 and took 20 catches. In 21 List A games he scored 290 runs at 24.16. He took three first-class wickets at 81.00 and six one-day wickets at 38.33.
Kettleborough's debut as an umpire in first-class cricket came in April 2002, for the match between Durham and Durham UCCE. He followed this up over the next two years with further university matches, and two tour matches (involving Sri Lankans and Indians). In May 2004, he stood on his first County Championship match, Durham against Essex.
