W. H. Laverton's Ground was a cricket ground in Westbury, Wiltshire. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1888, when W. H. Laverton's XI played O. G. Radcliffe's XI.[1] The ground hosted a single first-class match in 1890, which saw W. H. Laverton's XI playing the touring Australians.[2] The final recorded match held on the ground saw Leighton play Lansdown in 1899.

The ground's exact location is unknown, but its approximate location would be somewhere within the grounds of Leighton House, which is today home to the Army Officer Selection Board.
