Cecil Ashworth Kershaw (3 February 1895 – 1 November 1972) was a British sportsman during the 1920s. He was an Olympic fencer who competed for Great Britain at two Olympic Games and was also a rugby union player who represented the Royal Navy as a scrum-half and was capped by England 16 times between 1920 and 1923. Kershaw formed a notable half-back partnership with W. J. A. Davies for both the Navy and England; in their 14 matches together for England they never finished on the losing side.
