William Reginald Hamborough Joynson (18 May 1917 – 4 December 2000) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.

The son of Lieutenant Colonel William Owen Hamborough Joynson, one-time chairman of Kent County Cricket Club,^[1] he was born at Bickley in May 1917. He was educated at Harrow School, before going up to Christ Church, Oxford.^[2] While studying at Oxford, Joynson made two appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University at Oxford in 1939, against Gloucestershire and Yorkshire.^[3] However, any further prospect of playing first-class cricket for Oxford was curtailed by the commencement of the Second World War in September 1939. Joynson served in the war, being commissioned into the Royal Artillery as a second lieutenant in October 1940.^[4] Following the war, Joynson became a farmer in Kent.^[5] He died in December 2000 at Bath, Somerset.
