William Arthur Irving Washington (11 December 1879 – 20 October 1927) was an English first-class cricketer, who played 44 matches for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1900 and 1902.
Born in Wombwell, Yorkshire, Washington was a left-handed batsman, who scored 1,384 runs at 21.96, in his 48 first-class games, with a best of 100 not out against Surrey, his only century.
His nephew, Roy Kilner, played Test cricket for England, whilst another nephew, Norman Kilner, played over 400 first-class matches for Yorkshire and Warwickshire.
Arguably Washington's most famous innings was one of nine not out against the Australians in 1902, as this enabled Yorkshire to reach 50 for 5 wickets in their second innings, and thereby achieve a five-wicket victory.
