Charles Morley Cunliffe (2 September 1858 – 15 October 1884) was an English amateur cricketer who played for Kent County Cricket Club from 1877 to 1880.

Cunliffe was born at Leyton in Essex in 1858, the son of Roger and Marion Cunliffe of Tunbridge Wells.[1] He was educated at Rugby School where he was in the cricket XI for three years. He made his first-class cricket debut for Kent against Derbyshire in July 1877 at the age of 18.[2] He was a regular bowler for Kent for three years taking five wickets in an innings 11 times, and three times taking 10 wickets in a match. He played club cricket for Orleans Club, but did not appear in any of the club's first-class matches.[2]
