William Charles Nock (born 1864 in the British West Indies, died 3 February 1909) was a West Indian cricketer who was manager of the first West Indian touring team to England in 1900.[1]

Nock worked in the civil service in Trinidad.[2] He played two first-class matches for Trinidad in 1891–92 with no success: batting at number 11, he made one run in three innings.[3] He was secretary of Queen's Park Cricket Club in Port of Spain from its beginning in 1891.[2] For his work in organising cricket matches as part of the celebrations of Trinidad's centenary in 1897 he was awarded the Silver Centenary Medal.[2] In late 1900 he was appointed Warden of Montserrat, in central Trinidad.[4]
