Colonel (later General) Denzil Onslow (12 September 1770 – 21 August 1838) was an English amateur cricketer who made nine known appearances in first-class cricket matches from 1796 to 1807.

He was born in 1770 at Marylebone, London, the son of the British Member of Parliament Middleton Onslow.

Onslow was a general in the Grenadier Guards. His daughter, Amelia, married Thomas Chamberlayne, who played cricket for Hampshire; their son Tankerville Chamberlayne also had a brief career as a cricketer, and was Member of Parliament for the Southampton constituency three times. The main road through Bevois Valley was named Onslow Road after Onslow as was nearby Denzil Avenue.^[1]

In 1833, he was living at Great Staughton and was appointed High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire. He died in 1838 at Huntingdon.
