Sefton Park Cricket Club in south Liverpool, England was formed as Sefton Cricket Club in 1860. As well as being used for Sefton's senior and junior teams' home fixtures, the club hosts Lancashire ladies and junior sides, Liverpool City junior representative games, University of Liverpool cricket and several Liverpool Business Houses sides call the club home.

The club's original ground was on Smithdown Road bounded on one side by what is now Langdale Road. With pressure on the land for development, the club moved to its present ground in the north-eastern corner of Sefton Park shortly after the park's opening in 1876. Sefton became Sefton Park Cricket Club in 1998 and in 2003 the club's second ground with its own pavilion was opened adjacent to the main ground by the city's Lord Mayor.

The club is a founder member of the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition, which became an ECB Premier League in 2000, and in 2017 will play in the First Division of the competition having narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League. Since league fixtures were standardised in 1949, Sefton have been L&DCC champions in 1967 and 1972 and have since won the First Division (2000) and Second Division (2013) titles as well as winning the Liverpool Echo Knockout in 1978 and reaching the Lancashire Knockout final in 1999. The club fields six sides in the Competition, five on a Saturday and one on a Sunday plus an occasional Midweek XI. The junior section fields seven sides from Under 9s upwards.
