David Norman Mantell (22 July 1934 – 26 January 2017) was an English cricketer.
Mantell was a right-handed batsman who fielded as a wicket-keeper.
Mantell made his first-class debut for Sussex against Cambridge University in 1954.
[1] In his 26 first-class matches for Sussex, he scored a total of 150 runs at an average of 6.00, with a high score of 34.
[2] Mantell found his opportunities limited, and when the regular Sussex wicketkeeper Rupert Webb announced he would retire from full-time cricket at the end of the 1958 season, Sussex encouraged Jim Parks, a far better batsman than Mantell, to take up wicketkeeping; that led Mantell to leave the county at the end of the 1958 season.
