Henry Gifford Vivian (4 November 1912 – 12 August 1983) was a New Zealand cricketer who played in seven Test matches between 1931 and 1937.
A forceful left-handed middle-order batsman and left-arm spin bowler, in 25 matches on the tour Vivian made 1002 runs at 30.36, with centuries against Oxford University (his first century, 135 out of a team total of 488 on the first day) and Yorkshire (101 on a turning wicket, with four sixes).
