Sheridan Raynor (7 July 1934 – 10 December 2011) was a Bermudian cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman and a left-arm spin bowler. Though he only played one first-class match for Bermuda, against New Zealand in 1972, his abilities were such that Gary Sobers wanted Raynor to play for the West Indies team, however Raynor was ineligible due to his nationality at the time. Instead, Raynor worked as a taxi driver and spray mechanic outside of cricket.

Raynor died on December 10, 2011 as a result of complications from a stroke which he had suffered a year previously and which he had never regained consciousness from. Upon hearing the news of his death, the Bermudian parliament paused proceedings in tribute, and he was inducted into the Bermuda Sporting Hall of Fame.
