Brigadier-General Everard McLeod Blair CMG (26 July 1866 – 16 May 1939) was an Indian-born English soldier and cricketer.

After serving in Hong Kong he was appointed instructor in fieldworks at the Royal School of Military Engineering at Chatham.

In October 1916 Blair was charge of water supply works to support the advance of British forces into Palestine.

[1] Before the completion of the pipeline works Blair returned to England in March 1917 and served in the London Defences area.

He was found permanently unfit for service in July 1918 and retired with the honorary rank of Brigadier-General in August.

[1][4] In his first-class debut he scored 61 runs against Gloucestershire at the County Ground, Bristol, form which his Wisden obituary said that he "never regained", despite being "strong in defence with plenty of shots".
