Malcolm Kittson "Mick" Boon (22 July 1902 – 12 July 1988) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Canterbury between 1923 and 1927, and represented New Zealand in 1923–24.
Mick Boon was a wicket-keeper and useful lower-order batsman. He was selected to play in both of New Zealand's matches against New South Wales in 1923-24, but after the first match in Christchurch his employer, the Public Trustee, refused to grant him leave to travel to Wellington for the second.[1][2] His highest first-class score was 72 for Canterbury against Auckland in 1926-27.[3]
Boon also represented Canterbury and New Zealand at lawn bowls.[4]
