Claude Vibart Wight (July 28, 1902-October 4, 1969) was a West Indian cricketer who played in West Indies' first Test in their inaugural Test tour of England.
Griffith was born in Georgetown, British Guiana (now Guyana). He played in one Test in each of the first two West Indian Test series.
His Test career started a notable familial cricket legacy: his nephew George Wight would later play Test cricket, and his brother and two other nephews also played first class cricket for British Guiana.
He died in Georgetown at the age of 67.
