Fitzhardinge Hancock Liebenrood (14 September 1885 – 11 May 1969) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.

Liebenrood was born at Eltham in September 1885 and was educated at Wellington College.[1] He played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club from 1905 to 1907, making seven appearances.[2] He had limited success in his seven matches, scoring 125 runs at an average of 11.36 and a highest score of 26,[3] in addition to taking 2 wickets.[4] From Wellington he proceeded to join the British Army, being commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment in January 1904.[5] He was promoted to lieutenant in June 1905,[6] with promotion to captain following in August 1908.[7]

Liebenrood served in the First World War, during which he was seconded to the training school of the Machine Gun Corps in September 1916 and was made a temporary major the following month.[8][9] Later in the war, he was appointed to be an instructor at the School of Musketry at Hythe in November 1917,[10] a position which he relinquished in December 1918.[11] He abandoned the surname Libenrood in March 1922, simply being known as Fitzhardinge Hancock.[12] He died at Poole in May 1969. His son-in-law was Harold Scott, a first-class cricketer for Sussex.
