Sir Kingsmill James Key, Bt. (11 October 1864–9 August 1932) was an English cricketer. In the course of a long career he played for, among others, Surrey (whom he captained for several years in the 1890s), Oxford University, MCC and the Gentlemen.

His highest score of 281, for Oxford against Middlesex at Chiswick Park in 1887, remains as of 2007 the highest first-class score made for the university.
