Ronald Frederick Delport (18 November 1931 – 7 March 2023) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Western Province in South Africa from 1950 to 1964. He was later a cricket administrator.
An off-spinner, Delport made his first-class debut for Western Province at the age of 19 in December 1950 against Rhodesia in the Currie Cup. He took 7 for 54 on the first day, and Western Province won by six wickets.[1] In his next match a few days later he took 5 for 87 in Transvaal's second innings.[2] The rest of his career was less spectacular, and in all he played only 14 first-class matches spread over 14 seasons.
Delport served as president of the Western Province Cricket Union and played a leading role in the Western Province Cricket Association that was created after the end of apartheid.[3]
