Reynold Alleyne Clement (3 March 1834 – 2 October 1905) was an English cricketer. He played three first-class matches for Cambridge University Cricket Club and the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1854 and 1863.[1] He was also a career soldier and the clerk of the course at Ascot Racecourse from 1884 until his death in 1905.[2]

Clement was educated at Rugby School and at Trinity College, Cambridge.[3] He played cricket as a middle-order batsman both at Rugby and at Cambridge, and in 1854 he was selected for the University Match against Oxford University, although he failed to score in either innings.[4] He played for Cambridge only in the 1854 season, and there is no record that he graduated from Cambridge University. By 1857, he was appearing in a minor match for a United Ireland eleven, and in 1863 his last first-class match was for the MCC.[5]

After Cambridge, Clement joined the 68th Regiment and served in the New Zealand Wars in the 1860s, rising to the rank of major.[3] In 1876, he was a member of Queen Victoria's personal bodyguard.[3] He was appointed secretary to the board of trustees of Ascot Racecourse in 1881 and clerk of the course three years later.[2]

His elder brother, Richard, played cricket for Oxford University and appeared in the 1853 University Match.[6]
