The Earl of Bessborough by Leslie Ward, 1888.

Frederick George Brabazon Ponsonby, 6th Earl of Bessborough (11 September 1815 – 11 March 1895) was a British peer and cricketer.

Born in Marylebone, Ponsonby played cricket for both Harrow School and Cambridge University Cricket Club, batting right-handed. Ponsonby was an active player until about 1845, when, due to an arm injury, he continued to play only sporadically. He was a founder of Surrey County Cricket Club and its first vice-president.

He was also a founder of the I Zingari nomadic amateur cricket club, and of the Old Stagers amateur theatre company. Ponsonby died at Westminster in 1895.
