The England cricket team toured South Africa during the 1927–28 season, playing five Test matches against the South Africa national team and 13 tour matches under the banner of the Marylebone Cricket Club against local sides.

The tour began on 12 November 1927 with a match against Western Province and ended on 21 February 1928 at the conclusion of another match against the same side.

The Test series was drawn 2–2, with England winning the first two and South Africa the last two, with a drawn Test in the middle.

Guy Jackson was selected as the captain of the touring side in July 1927.

He was replaced by RT Stanyforth as the captain and Percy Holmes as a player.
