Dennis Cunliffe Good (29 August 1926 – 26 June 2021)[1] was an English cricketer who played in four first-class matches for Worcestershire and Glamorgan in the 1940s.

Good was born in Leeds and educated at Denstone College in Staffordshire, and at Sheffield University, where he studied textiles.[2] His first-class debut, and his only outing for Worcestershire, was against the Combined Services at New Road in 1946.[3] He took the single wicket of the 19-year-old John Dewes and scored 1 and 6 with the bat. The following year he appeared thrice for Glamorgan, claiming seven more wickets (though never more than two in an innings) and managing a top score of 21 in his final game at Derby.[2]

He did his National Service in the Royal Air Force, and played league cricket for a while in the north of England. He migrated to Canada in 1952, and set up his own textile importing business in Quebec.[2] After he retired, he lived in Ontario. For some time before his death in June 2021 he was Worcestershire's oldest surviving first-class cricketer.[3] His wife Mary, to whom he was married for 64 years, predeceased him. They had three children.[1]
