Joseph William Henry Makepeace (August 22, 1881, Middlesbrough, Yorkshire – December 19, 1952, Bebington, Cheshire) was an English sportsman who appeared for his country four times at each of cricket and football. He is one of just 12 double internationals.

Cricket

Makepeace played in four Tests for England in the 1920/21 Ashes. His first class career with Lancashire lasted from 1906 to 1930. "I count Makepeace amongst the immortals of Lancashire and Yorkshire cricket," wrote Neville Cardus. [Cardus, Neville: "The Roses Matches: 1919-1939" (Souvenir Press, 1982), p. 18.]

After his retirement from playing, he spent two decades as county coach. [cite web |url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/16882.html |title=Players and Officials - Harry Makepeace |accessdate=2007-09-24 |work=Wisden Cricketers' Almanack |publisher=Cricinfo]
