John Kingdon Cleeve (14 February 1864 – 7 April 1952) was an Australian rugby union player.
The Australian Rugby Union’s records show him playing just one Test match for New South Wales, in 1884.
Playing as a halfback, he was described by the Sydney Morning Herald as ‘...a decided acquisition [for the 1884 match against New Zealand], as he is a resolute and hard-working player.’[2] Cleeve and his twin brother, James Cleeve (14 February 1864 – 7 February 1909) were born in Woolloomooloo, New South Wales to John Cleeve, Police magistrate of Penrith, New South Wales, and Frances "Fanny" (née Oatley).
[3] The Cleve boys attended Newington College in 1881 and 1882 whilst the cricketer Joseph Coates was Headmaster.
