William Picton Mortimer (c. 1833 – 22 December 1916) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
Mortimer was born in about 1833, one of twenty children of Edward Horlock Mortimer and his wife, Frances Lardner.[1] He made one appearance in first-class cricket for the Surrey Club against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1853.[2] He batted in both Surrey Club innings', being dismissed without scoring by Jemmy Dean in their first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by James Grundy.[3] He served in the British Army with the 80th Regiment of Foot in British India,[4] later serving with the 11th Hussars, where he held the rank of lieutenant colonel.[1] He died at Cheltenham in December 1916.
