Harold Mead (13 June 1895 – 13 April 1921) was an English cricketer. Mead was a right-handed batsman who bowled slow left-arm orthodox. He was born at Walthamstow, Essex.
Mead made his first-class debut for Essex against Derbyshire in the 1913 County Championship. He made three further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Sussex in the 1914 County Championship.[1] With the ball, he took just 3 wickets at an average of 64.66, with best figures of 2/84.[2] In his four first-class appearances, he scored 19 runs at a batting average of 3.16, with a high score of 8 not out.[3] His brief first-class career came to an end with the start of World War I. Mead fought in the war as a Private in the Essex Regiment. He was severely wounded in 1915 and never fully recovered, dying on 13 April 1921 at Bell Common, Essex.[4]
He was the son of England Test cricketer Walter Mead.
