Percival Heather (6 October 1882 29 June 1956) was an Australian cricketer who played 13 matches of first-class cricket between 1904 and 1914.

Born in Melbourne, Heather moved to South Africa early in the 1900s and played for Natal and Transvaal. Returning to Australia, he played one match for Victoria in 1913-14.[1]

His highest score was 109 not out for Transvaal against Border in 1910-11. In a low-scoring match Transvaal needed 165 to win and were 27 for 3 when Heather went to the crease. Batting only 65 minutes, he hit seven fours and nine sixes to take Transvaal to victory by six wickets.[2]
