William Charles Gayner (c. 1825 — 27 January 1892) was an English first-class cricketer and barrister.
The son of William Gayner senior, he was born at St James's in 1825. He was educated at St Paul's School,[1] before going up to the University of Oxford where he studied at Pembroke College in 1847, before transferring to St Mary Hall in 1848.[2] Gayner made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Oxford University at Oxford in 1851.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for a single run by Charles Marsham, while in their second innings he was dismissed without scoring by Charles Bere.[4] A latecomer to the legal profession, Gayner was called to the bar as a member of the Inner Temple in January 1872.[5] Gayner died at Chelsea in January 1892.[6] He had been the proprietor of Boodle's gentlemen's club until his death.[7]
