Stephen Amherst or Amhurst (1750 – 6 May 1814), was an English amateur cricketer who was also a noted patron and organiser of first-class matches.

A useful batsman and a patron of the game in his native Kent, Amherst made 31 known first-class appearances from his debut in 1783 until 1795,[1] often leading his own team. He employed the famous bowler Thomas Boxall, whose career began in 1789. Amherst set up an indoor bowling area in a barn so that he and Boxall could practice during the winter.

He died at West Farleigh near Maidstone in Kent in 1814.[1]
