Kenneth James Grieves (August 27, 1925 - January 3, 1992) was an Australian first class cricketer who played for Lancashire. A middle order batsman, his 452 first-class games at Lancashire is a record number for the county as is his 555 catches. He often fielded at first slip and in 1951 he took eight catches in a match against Sussex, six of them in one innings. Grieves was born in Sydney, Australia and moved to England in 1947 where he pursued a football career. He played briefly with Bolton Wanderers and Stockport County.

His attention soon turned to cricket and he joined Lancashire in 1949. He had previously played some games with New South Wales when in Australia. In his 16 year career he captained Lancashire in 1963 and 1964
