Percy Neville Frank Mansell MBE (16 March 1920 in St George's, Shropshire, England – 9 May 1995 in Somerset West, Cape Province) was a South African cricketer who played in thirteen Tests from 1951 to 1955.

Mansell was a bespectacled middle-order batsman, slips fieldsman, and leg-break and googly bowler who sometimes bowled medium-pace.

After retiring from the game he served as a cricket administrator in Rhodesia. He was awarded the MBE "for services to cricket in Southern Rhodesia" in the 1962 New Year Honours.[1]
