John Adam Gaskell Kennard (8 November 1884 — 6 April 1949) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.

The son of Adam Steinmetz Kennard, he was born at Chelsea in November 1884. He was educated at Harrow School.[1] After leaving Harrow, he joined the British Army in September 1903, being commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Rifle Brigade.[2] He resigned his commission in December 1905,[3] and was involved in the exploration of oil on the coast of the Red Sea.[1] During the First World War, he was recommissioned into the Rifle Brigade as a second lieutenant and was confirmed in the rank in January 1915.[4][5] In December 1914, he was afflicted with colitis and nerves and was hospitalised, resulting in him returning home to recuperate at his father's house in Upham, Hampshire.[6] He was promoted to lieutenant in July 1915,[7] with promotion to captain following in March 1916.[8] Toward the end of the war, he was seconded for service with the Ministry of National Service.[9] Kennard relinquished his commission in April 1920, retaining the rank of captain.[10]

Following the war, Kennard represented Hampshire in two first-class cricket matches in the 1919 County Championship against MiddlesexatLord's and SurreyatThe Oval.[11] He scored 46 runs in these matches, with a highest score of 18.[12] He later played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire from 1922 to 1923, making eight appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[13] Kennard died at Hove in April 1949.
