Robert Neill

Robert Neill (20 January 1864 – 27 August 1930) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Auckland between 1889 and 1906.

Neill grew up in Britain, then migrated to New Zealand, where he became a grain merchant in Auckland. His wife Nina predeceased him. They had one daughter.

A leg-spin bowler who usually opened the bowling, Neill took 9 for 75 in the first innings against Canterbury in 1891–92, in his second first-class match. He played for New Zealand in two matches in 1896-97: the loss to the Australians and the victory over the touring Queensland team.
