Nathan Theodore Wood (born 4 October 1974) is a former English cricketer. Wood was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm off break. He was born at Thornhill Edge, Yorkshire.

Wood played Youth Tests and a Youth One Day International for England Under-19s in 1993 and 1994.[1][2] Wood made his first-class cricket debut for Lancashire against Essex in the 1996 County Championship. He made 29 first-class appearances for Lancashire, the lst of which came against Derbyshire in the 2000 County Championship.[3] In his 30 first-class matches, he scored 1,179 runs at an average of 29.47, with a high score of 155.[4] This score, which was his only first-class century, came against Surrey in the 1997.[5] He made a single List A appearance against Sussex in the 1998 AXA League,[6] scoring 23 runs before being dismissed by Richard Davis.[7]

He left Lancashire at the end of the 2000 season and proceeded to join Cheshire for the 2001 season. He made a single Minor Counties Championship appearance against Oxfordshire[8] and a single MCCA Knockout Trophy appearance against the Derbyshire Cricket Board.[9] In September 2001, Wood made a single List A appearance for the county against Cornwall in the 2nd round of the 2002 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy which was held in 2001 to avoid fixture congestion the following season.[6] He scored 50 runs in this match, before being dismissed by Steven Pope.[10] 2001 was his only season with Cheshire.

His father, Barry, played Test cricket for England, while his uncle, Ronald, played first-class cricket for Yorkshire.
