Iain John Sutcliffe (born 20 December 1974 in Leeds, Yorkshire) is an English cricketer who has played for the cricket teams of Oxford University, Combined Universities, Leicestershire, British Universities and Lancashire. He is a left-handed batsman, primarily playing as an opener in four-day cricket, and very occasional spin bowler. He also represented Oxford University as a middleweight boxer.

Sutcliffe joined Lancashire in 2003 and in the same season was awarded his county cap.

Towards the end of the 2008 season Sutcliffe announced his retirement from first class cricket. He said "I've been presented with some opportunities away from cricket and I'm at a stage where I need to explore these at the earliest opportunity".
