William Snowden (born 27 September 1952) is an English former cricketer.

Snowden was born in September 1952 at Whiston, Lancashire. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School, Crosby,[1] before going up to Emmanuel College, Cambridge.[2] While studying at Cambridge, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against Leicestershire at Fenner's in 1972. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge until 1975, making 35 appearances.[3] Playing as a batsman, he scored 1,315 runs in his 35 first-class matches for Cambridge, at an average of 21.20 and a high score of 108 not out.[4] This score, one of three centuries he made, came against Kent in 1973.[5] He also made two first-class appearances for the combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities cricket team, playing against the touring New Zealanders in 1973, and the touring Indians in 1974.[3] In addition to playing first-class cricket while at Cambridge, he also made ten appearances in List A one-day cricket. The first eight of these came for Cambridge University, with four appearances apiece in the 1972 and 1974 Benson & Hedges Cup,[6] with Snowden scoring 88 runs with a high score of 44.[7] He also made two List A appearances for the Combined Universities cricket team in the 1975 Benson & Hedges Cup.[3] After graduating from Cambridge he became a schoolteacher, teaching geography at Harrow School from 1981–2014.
