Christopher Maitland Howard Hathorn (7 April 1878 – 17 May 1920) was a South African cricketer who played in 12 Tests from 1902 to 1911.

[3] In the match against Cambridge University in 1901, the South Africans batted first and were 114 for 3 when Hathorn went to the wicket.

[7] He made three centuries, and in the important match against an England XI at Lord's he contributed 59 and 69 to the South Africans' victory.

In the Test series against England in 1905–06, which South Africa won four to one, Hathorn played in all five matches but achieved little except in the Third Test, when he scored the first century of the series on either side, 102 off 170 balls, and South Africa won by 243 runs.

[9] It was South Africa's fourth Test century; the first three had been scored by Jimmy Sinclair.
