Neil Fredrick Sargeant (born 8 November 1965) is a former English cricketer. Sargeant was a right-handed batsman who played primarily as a wicketkeeper. He was born in Hammersmith, London.
Sargeant made his first-class debut for Surrey against Gloucestershire in the 1989 County Championship.

In the field and behind the stumps, he took 121 catches and made 16 stumpings.[2]
It was for Surrey that he made his debut in List A cricket against Kent in the 1990 Refuge Assurance League. From 1990 to 1995, he represented the county in 15 List A matches, the last of which came against Hampshire in the 1995 AXA Equity and Law League.[3] For much of his time at Surrey, Sargeant acted as Alec Stewarts' understudy, thus limiting his appearances for the county.
