Thelston Rodney O'Neale Payne (b. 13 February 1957, Foul Bay, Saint Philip, Barbados) was a West Indian cricketer.

He played only one Test and seven one-day internationals for the West Indies. He played first class cricket from 1978-79 to 1989-90, turning out in 68 first class matches - mostly for Barbados.

He was usually second choice to Jeff Dujon in the West Indies team, but got his Test chance in the 1985-86 series v England in West Indies as Dujon was injured. He held five catches in the West Indies' seven-wicket win, but only scored five runs.

In his seven ODIs, he was always in and out of the team, as he only played two successive matches - in the 1986-87 World Series Cup. That was his penultimate ODI - his final was against New Zealand two months later, during which he held a catch off Richard Hadlee's bat, but did not get to bat because Gordon Greenidge and Des Haynes wrapped up the target without losing a wicket.
