Francis Phillips Fenner (1 March 1811 – 22 May 1896) was an English cricketer for Hampshire and other teams. A right-arm fast bowler, Fenner took 176 wickets from his 54 appearances from 1829 until 1856.

He established Fenner's cricket ground in Cambridge in 1848 on land which he had leased. The ground is still used by Cambridge University for their home fixtures.
