Sotherton Nathaniel Micklethwait (22 August 1823 – 25 March 1889) was an English clergyman and a cricketer who appeared in one first-class cricket match for Cambridge University in 1843.[1] He was born at Taverham Hall, Norwich, Norfolk and died at Hickling, also in Norfolk.

Micklethwait was educated at Shrewsbury School and at Magdalene College, Cambridge.[2] His single cricket appearance at Cambridge University came in the 1843 University Match against Oxford University, and he batted at No 11 and appears not to have bowled: he scored 11 and 1 not out in a low-scoring game.[3] There is no record that he played any further matches, even minor games.[1] His brother Frederick Micklethwait played for Cambridge University in the 1836 University Match and also appeared in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club.

Micklethwait graduated from Cambridge with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1846.[2] He was ordained as a Church of England clergyman and from 1849 to his death in 1889 he was vicar of Hickling in Norfolk.[2] The benefice of Hickling was in the gift of the Micklethwait family and he was presented at his induction by his father, Nathaniel Micklethwait.[4]
