**Nigel Samuel Mitford Atkinson** (26 July 1899 – 24 October 1966) was an English [first-class cricketer](/source/First-class_cricket) who played for [Middlesex](/source/Middlesex_County_Cricket_Club) in two matches in the 1923 season.[1][2] He was a right-handed batsman and a left-arm bowler.

An [amateur](/source/Amateur_status_in_first-class_cricket) cricketer from the [Hampstead Cricket Club](/source/Hampstead_Cricket_Club), Atkinson played two consecutive matches for Middlesex in a week in May 1923. In the first match, he took five [Essex](/source/Essex_County_Cricket_Club) wickets for just 16 runs with his left-arm spin bowling in the first innings; in the second game, he took seven wickets across two [Cambridge University](/source/Cambridge_University_Cricket_Club) innings, and made a score of 39 with the bat.[3][4]

Atkinson's younger brother [Bernard](/source/Bernard_Atkinson) also played for Middlesex.
