Ryan O'Neal Hinds {born February 17, 1981 in Holders Hill, St James, Barbados) is a West Indian cricketer. He is a left-hand batsman and a slow left-arm orthodox bowler.

Hinds made his debut for Barbados during the 1998 Commonwealth Games, aged just 17. He then captained the West Indian Under-19 side during the 2000 Youth World Cup.

Despite his young age he holds a couple of batting and bowling records for Barbados. He took 15 wickets against the Leeward Islands in a match during the 2001 Busta Cup which made a national record for most wickets in a match. His first innings figures of 9 for 68 were also a Barbados record. He went into the record books in a game against the Leeward Islands again in 2005/06 when he scored a century in both innings (168 and 150), becoming the first player for Barbados to do so.[2]

His Test debut came against Pakistan at Sharjah in 2001-02 where he scored a half-century.

In February 2007 Hinds while captain of Barbados showed dissent to an umpiring decision during a bad tempered regional game against Trinidad and Tobago. He escaped a ban, for what WICB director Deryck Murray described as the worst behaviour he'd seen in a regional match, because the match report was submitted too late.[1] This along with other areas of indiscipline have prompted his removal from the captaincy this year subsequent to which he announced his unavailabilty for the regional limited overs championship.[2] It was revealed that Hinds is "mentally exhausted" and has sought treatment.[3]
