Hiram Rhodes (11 December 1850 – 1 January 1891) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played three first-class matches for Otago between 1872 and 1877.[1]
At a time when long stop was an important fielding position, Rhodes was considered perhaps the best long stop in New Zealand in the 1870s.[2] He later returned to England and died of influenza in Huddersfield in 1891, leaving a widow and two children.[3]
