Gustavus William Francis Blake Kelly (2 April 1877 – 16 August 1951)[1] was an Irish cricketer.

A right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler,[1] he played 18 times for the Ireland cricket team between 1895 and 1914[2] including nine first-class matches.

He played twice more for Ireland that month, including a match against the MCC at Lord's, but it would be six years before he again featured in high-level cricket.
