Lionel Walther Recordon (25 February 1907 – 6 October 1988) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket in 11 matches for Kent between 1927 and 1929.[1] He was born at Anerley in south-east London and died at Godalming, Surrey.

Educated at Brighton College where he was captain of the cricket team in 1925, Recordon was a right-handed middle-order batsman and a right-arm leg-break and googly bowler, though he did not take any wickets in his first-class matches.[2] He played county cricket as an amateur. His best innings as a batsman was an unbeaten score of 64 in the match against Northamptonshire in 1928, most of the runs coming in a partnership of 80 in 45 minutes as Kent raced towards a declaration, Recordon hitting three sixes but also being dropped twice.[3][4]

Recordon continued to play occasional second team matches for Kent to 1932 and was involved in club cricket and wartime matches in London, none of them first-class.[1]
