Lionel Hervey-Bathurst JP (7 July 1849 — 4 May 1908) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.

The son of the cricketer Sir Frederick Hervey-Bathurst, 3rd Baronet and his second wife, Clare Emily Brooke, he was born in July 1849 at Clarendon Park, Wiltshire. Hervey-Bathurst purchased a commission as an ensign into the Rifle Brigade in October 1868,[1] with promotion without purchase to lieutenant following in November 1871.[2] In 1875, he made two appearances in first-class for Hampshire County Cricket Club, both against Kent at Catford and Winchester.[3] He scored 30 runs in his two matches, with a highest score of 14. As a wicket-keeper, he took a catch and a stumping apiece.[4] In the Rifle Brigade, he was promoted to captain in April 1879, with promotion to major following in September 1884.[5]

In 1905, Hervey-Bathurst inherited Gadebridge House from his father-in-law, Sir Astley Paston Paston-Cooper, 3rd Baronet. Following his inheritance, he became known as Lionel Paston-Cooper by royal licence from October 1905.[6] In later life, he was a justice of the peace.[6] Hervey-Bathurst died at Hemel Hempstead in May 1908, from complications following an operation for appendicitis.[7] His half brother, Sir Frederick Hervey-Bathurst, 4th Baronet, was also a first-class cricketer.
