Patrick Neville Durlacher (17 March 1903 26 February 1971) was an English cricketer. Durlacher was a right-handed batsman. He was born in Paddington, London, the son of Neville Durlacher and his Irish-born wife Ruth Dyas. He was educated at Wellington College, where he represented the school cricket team.[1] It was for the college that he was part of the Wellington Rackets pair who won the Public Schools Championship in 1921.[2]

He later studied at Cambridge University, despite not representing the University in cricket, Durlacher nevertheless won a Cambridge Blue in cross country running.[2] He played for Buckinghamshire in the Minor Counties Championship in 1920,[3] which turned out to be a successful season for him, which paved the way for him to make his first-class debut for Middlesex the following season.

His first-class debut came against Somerset in 1921, although he was an infrequent fixture in the Middlesex side, playing just 4 further matches up till 1923.[4] In his 5 first-class appearances, he scored 43 runs at a batting average of 10.75, with a high score of 27.[5]

In 1935, Durlacher was listed in the London Gazette as living in Stoke Green, Buckinghamshire and making a claim to his late fathers estate.[6] His sister, Nora Durlacher, was a tennis player who appeared in the 1919 Irish Lawn Tennis Championships doubles. Durlacher died suddenly while fishing in Ireland on 26 February 1971.[7]
