Humphrey Forman (26 April 1888 – 21 May 1923) played first-class cricket in two matches, one each for Cambridge University and Somerset in the 1910 cricket season.^[1] He was born at Repton, Derbyshire and died at Bangkok in Thailand.

Humphrey Forman was the son of Arthur Forman, a master at Repton School and himself a first-class cricketer for Derbyshire County Cricket Club. Humphrey was educated at Shrewsbury School. As a first-class cricketer, he was a lower-order batsman and a left-arm medium-pace bowler. He was quite successful as a bowler in his one first-class match at Cambridge University, taking four Kent wickets for 62 runs, more wickets than any other Cambridge bowler.^[2] He played a second match for Cambridge a week later against the Free Foresters; this match was not classed as first-class (though many such fixtures between these teams were in other years), but in any case Forman was not successful.^[3] In his solitary match for Somerset later in the same season, he opened the bowling but took only one wicket in the match.^[4]
