Walter Herbert Livsey (23 September 1893 – 12 September 1978) was an English first-class cricketer for Hampshire from 1913 until 1929.
A wicket-keeper, Livsey played 320 matches and was considered one of the greatest keepers of the 1920s with 649 dismissals.
He was also a tidy keeper, allowing only three byes during Oxford's 554–run innings in his first match.
For this success he became Hampshire's regular keeper, and performed a noted stumping of Jack Hobbs in 1914.
He fought during World War I, and was demobilised for the 1920 season.
He continued at Hampshire until 1929, when his health forced him into retirement.
