**Andrew John Corran** (25 November 1936 – 27 October 2024) was an English [first-class](/source/First-class_cricket) cricketer and schoolmaster.

After starting his career at [Gresham's School](/source/Gresham's_School), [Holt](/source/Holt,_Norfolk) (where he was also a good hockey player), at [Trinity College, Oxford](/source/Trinity_College,_Oxford) (where he was a cricket [blue](/source/Blue_(university_sport)) in all three of his seasons), and in [Minor Counties](/source/Minor_Counties_Cricket_Championship) cricket for [Norfolk](/source/Norfolk_County_Cricket_Club), Corran moved to [Nottinghamshire](/source/Nottinghamshire_County_Cricket_Club), for whom he played between 1961 and 1965. He was the club's captain in the 1962 season, when he made 620 runs and took 64 wickets in the [County Championship](/source/County_Championship), but Nottinghamshire finished 15th.[1] In the 1965 County Championship he took 109 wickets at an average of 20.30.[2]

In the 1960 [Oxford](/source/Oxford_University) and [Cambridge](/source/Cambridge_University) match, Corran took 12 wickets for 116 runs.[3] Earlier in the season he had taken 7 for 45, bowling unchanged through the innings, to dismiss [Lancashire](/source/Lancashire_County_Cricket_Club) for 103.[4] Also in 1960, he played for the Gentlemen in the [Gentlemen v Players](/source/Gentlemen_v_Players) match at [Lord's](/source/Lord's).

A schoolmaster, Corran took a job in Australia in late 1965 and ended his first-class cricket career. From 1968 until his retirement he taught mathematics and cricket at [Cranleigh School](/source/Cranleigh_School) in [Surrey](/source/Surrey).[5]

Corran and his wife Gay, an artist, had five children. He died on 27 October 2024, at the age of 87.[6]
