The Nevill Ground is a cricket venue located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent. It played host to one One Day International during the 1983 Cricket World Cup, the group stage match between India and Zimbabwe in which Kapil Dev played an epic knock of 175*.

Kent County Cricket Club use the ground as one of its outgrounds for two or thee County Matches a year. It has seen some epic scores from Joe Denly, Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff. Two first-class matches were played every year until 1992, when the number was reduced to one. However, since the demise of Mote Park, Tunbridge Wells has regained an extra fixture. Since 2006 it has been home to the town's athletic club Tunbridge Wells Harriers. The forerunners of this club were also based here in the late 19th century.

In April 1913, the cricket pavilion was burnt down by Militant Suffragettes, but it was rebuilt just in time for Tunbridge Wells Cricket Week in the July - though the Archives which were destroyed in the fire could never be replaced.
