William Salwey Kendall is a former English cricketer who played over 200 games for Hampshire around the turn of the 21st century, having earlier appeared on a number of occasions for Oxford University.

Kendall's highest first-class score of 201 was achieved against Sussex in 1999 under somewhat unusual circumstances.

However, second time around Hampshire piled on the runs, eventually declaring at 570/6; Kendall's 201 had taken slightly more than eight hours.

Kendall was capped by Hampshire in 1999, and named Hampshire Cricket Society's Player of the Year in 2000.
