Guy Montague Blyth Nelson (8 August 1900 – 13 January 1969) was an English cricketer who played 13 first-class matches for Warwickshire in 1921 and 1922. He was born in Warwick and died near Banbury, Oxfordshire. He studied at Rugby School and Trinity College, Cambridge, but did not play for the Cambridge University team. Warwickshire used university matches to try out players, and Nelson appeared in those games in 1921 and 1922. He was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler, playing as an amateur. His best bowling was 4 for 53 against Surrey in 1921. Outside cricket, he served as mayor of Warwick three times, was a justice of the peace and a deputy lieutenant for Warwickshire; he was awarded the OBE for public service. His brother Alfred Nelson played one first-class match for Warwickshire in 1895.
