Owen Robert Dunell (15 July 1856 – 21 October 1929) was a South African cricketer who captained his country in its first Test match in 1888/89, as well as an early association footballer who played for Oxford University at the 1877 FA Cup Final.
Although born in Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony, Dunell was educated in England at Eton College and at Trinity College, Oxford, where he graduated BA in 1878 and Master of Arts in 1883.
Alcock described him as "a very safe and neat kick; a thoroughly reliable back, though a little wanting, perhaps, in pace".
He appeared in the 1877 FA Cup Final against Wanderers at Kennington Oval, which his team lost.
