Cecil Brooke-Short (18 December 1894 – 28 June 1937) was an English first-class cricketer and Royal Navy officer.

Born in Trinidad, Brooke-Short was commissioned into the Royal Marines as a second lieutenant in October 1913.[1] He served in the Marines in the First World War, during which he was granted the temporary rank of lieutenant in October 1914,[2] with confirmation of the full rank coming in October 1916.[3] He was then promoted to the rank of captain in October 1917.[4] After the war, Brooke-Short was placed on half-pay in September 1919, while holding a special appointment,[5] before returning to the establishment in December 1921.[6] He made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Royal Navy against the British Army cricket team at Lord's in 1925.[7] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for a single run in the Royal Navy first-innings by Adrian Gore, while in their second-innings he was unbeaten on 3 runs.[8] He was later promoted to the rank of major in November 1931,[9] before passing away in June 1937 at the Liugong Island Royal Navy base in China.
