Jack Briggs (8 April 1916 – 1 June 1984) was an English cricketer. Briggs was a right-handed batsman who bowled slow left-arm orthodox. He was born at Haslingden, Lancashire.
Briggs made his first-class debut for Lancashire against Leicestershire in the 1939 County Championship. He made three further first-class appearances for the county in that season, the last of which came against Derbyshire,[1] with the onset of World War II prematurely ending his first-class career. In his four first-class appearances for Lancashire, he took 10 wickets at an average of 39.10, with best figures of 4/48.[2] With the bat, he batted just twice, ending each innings not out on 0.[3] Following the war, he made eight Minor Counties Championship appearances for Cheshire in 1948.[4]
He played for Haslingden Cricket Club in the Lancashire League from 1933 to 1957.[5] He died at Rawtenstall, Lancashire, on 1 June 1984.
