John Henry Ponsonby-Fane (21 July 1848 – 11 September 1916) was an English first-class cricketer and noted malacologist.
The son of Spencer Ponsonby-Fane and Louisa Anne Rose Lee Dillon, he was born at Westminster in July 1848.
[3] He was described by Scores and Biographies as "a good, steady batsman, a most effective lob-bowler, and an excellent wicket-keeper".
[5] His lob-bowling yielded him 13 wickets at an average of 16.07 and with best figures of 5 for 37, which came for Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club against Kent in 1874.
He wrote very little material on the subject, but did contribute notes on the land shells of Gibraltar, British fauna, descriptions of four Helicoids, and critical remarks on Libera and Sculptaria.
