Okeover Butler Longcroft (6 March 1850 — 7 September 1871) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Charles John Longcroft,[1] he was born in the family ancestral home of Hall Place in Havant in March 1850. Longcroft was educated at Bradfield College.[2] He played first-class cricket for Hampshire on two occasions, against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1869 and Lancashire in 1870, with both matches played at Southampton.[3] Playing as a wicket-keeper, he took a single catch and made a single stumping across his two matches, while with the bat he scored 28 runs with a highest score of 12.[4] He also bowled in both matches, taking 8 wickets at an average of 9.37, with best figures of 3 for 15.[5] Whilst out shooting, Longcroft began to feel unwell.[6] He subsequently died a few days later on 7 September 1871, at Hall Place. His cause of death was registered as typhoid fever.[7]
