East Molesey Cricket Club is a cricket club in Molesey, Surrey, England. It was established in 1871, although cricket has been played at the Moulsey Hurst since 1731. A 1953 souvenir programme from the 1953 Australian cricket tour mentions an article in The Daily Courant from 1723 reporting on match played at Moulsey Hurst "between the Gentlemen of London and the Gentlemen of Surrey", and that after the match the players were entertained at Hampton Court Palace by Frederick, Prince of Wales".
East Molesey's current ground, 'The Memorial Ground', has been the home for the Surrey club since the late 19th century and is just outside the town centre, on the bank of the River Thames. They currently compete in the Surrey Championship, the Club Cricket Conference Cup, the Bertie Joel Cup and the Thameside Sunday League.
