Roly Jenkins (sometimes spelt Roley) (24 November 1918 – 22 July 1995) was an English cricketer, almost exclusively for Worcestershire as a leg spinner in the period immediately after World War II. Along with Doug Wright and Eric Hollies, Jenkins was a star of the last generation of English leg-spinners before a more defensive mindset, followed by the advent of one-day cricket, all but killed off home grown wrist spinners.
