Francis Booker (8 October 1746 – 13 November 1806) was an English first-class cricketer who was born in the village of Eynsford, which is about eight miles north of Sevenoaks, in Kent. He lived his whole life there and kept the Soho Inn. His known career was from 1773 to 1790 and he is mentioned by sources in connection with a total of 53 top-class matches (45 first-class and five single wicket).

Booker was a left-handed batsman who was noted as a fine hitter of the ball and a very good outfielder. He mostly played for Kent teams and was rated a good single wicket player.[1]
