Lieutenant-Colonel Kanwar Shumshere Singh (21 June 1879 – 12 May 1975) was an Indian cricketer.
Born in Bahraich, Singh attended Rugby School, where he made appearances for the school cricket eleven during 1896. Proceeding to Pembroke College, Cambridge, he had a trial in 1901 with Cambridge University's cricket team, and played a solitary match for them against Surrey. He also played in four first-class matches for Kent.
A batsman with a "strong defence" and a fine fielder, he later joined the Indian Medical Service. At his death in New Delhi, he was the oldest surviving Kent cricketer.
