Charles Read Seymour Шаблон:Postnominal (6 February 1855 — 6 November 1934) was an English first-class cricketer and barrister.

The son of the Reverend Charles Frederic Seymour, Rector of Winchfield, he was born at Winchfield in February 1855. He was educated at Harrow School,[1] but did not play for the school cricket team.[2] From there, he matriculated to Merton College, Oxford.[3] A student of the Inner Temple, he was later called to the bar to practice as a barrister in 1880.[4] Seymour made his debut in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Lancashire at Lord's in 1879. The following season, he played first-class cricket for Hampshire, making his debut for the county against the MCC at Lord's. He played first-class cricket for Hampshire until 1885, making fifteen appearances.[5] In his fifteen matches, he scored 481 runs at an average of 18.50, making two half centuries with a highest score of 77 not out.[6] Wisden described him as a "smart point" fielder,[2] taking 12 catches. Despite Hampshire losing their first-class status at the end of the 1885 season, Seymour continued to play second-class county cricket for Hampshire until 1888.[7] In later life, he was a justice of the peace for both Hampshire and Wiltshire.[1] Seymour died at Winchester in November 1934.[2] His brother-in-law was the cricketer Bernhard Bentinck.
