W. Baker (full name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played two first-class matches for Worcestershire in 1920.

He took only one wicket, that of Essex's Norman Saint; this happened on debut at Leyton in late May 1920. Baker also made his only catch in this match, to dismiss England Test cricketer Jack Russell.[1]

In his second and final first-class appearance, against Kent at Tonbridge in mid-June, Baker scored 6 and 5 and did not bowl. It was in this game that Frank Woolley took his thousandth first-class wicket, although his victim was not Baker.[2]
