Johann Heinrich Hermann "Dé" Kessler (11 August 1891 – 6 September 1943) was a Dutch football and cricket player.

Football

Kessler also won 21 caps for the Dutch national side between 1909 and 1922, scoring nine goals.[2] After playing alongside each other in a match against England in March 1913, the Kessler brothers became the first brothers to represent the Netherlands together in an international match.[3]

Kessler played for the Netherlands national cricket team. He played five matches for them between 1921 and 1925, including two against the Free Foresters and one against the MCC.[4] In August 1922 he scored a century against Ingoniti, scoring 100 not out in the second innings of the match.[5]
