Kenneth Humphrey Eastwood (born 23 November 1935, Chatswood, New South Wales) is a former Australian cricketer who played in one Test in 1971. He replaced Bill Lawry, who was dropped altogether despite being the captain due to a dispute with the board. He played his only Test match against England in 197071, he failed with the bat, scoring five and a duck), but took 1/21 with his left arm unorthodox spin, Keith Fletcher being the batsman dismissed.

In a booklet about Eastwood produced by the Australian Cricket Society, it's claimed that although Eastwood played only one Test, he ended up owning two baggy green caps. It seems he was given two caps to try for size, and no-one ever asked for the second to be returned.
