William Richard Ladsey Gibbes (1880 – 21 November 1918) was a New Zealand cricketer who played 14 first-class matches for Wellington between 1905 and 1915.

A batsman and occasional bowler, Gibbes had his best season in 1911–12, when he was the leading batsman in New Zealand, scoring 353 runs at an average of 58.83.[1] He reached 50 five times in his seven innings that season, with a top score of 81 against Auckland, which was also the highest score in the match, which Auckland won by one wicket.[2] He was particularly successful as an opening batsman for the East club in Wellington senior cricket.[3]

He worked as a clerk for Townsend and Paul, auctioneers and produce merchants of Wellington.[4] He died in the 1918 flu pandemic, leaving a widow and a son.[5]
