Claude Vibart Wight (July 28, 1902-October 4, 1969) was a West Indian cricketer who played in West Indies' third Test in their inaugural Test tour of England. He was vice-captain of the touring side, although he had not captained a cricket team before.
Wight was born in Georgetown, British Guiana (now Guyana). He played in one Test in each of the first two West Indian Test series and reached double figures in each of his four Test innings.
His Test career started a notable familial cricket legacy: his nephew Leslie 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.
