Malcolm Kittson "Mick" Boon (22 July 1902 – 12 July 1988) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Canterbury between 1923 and 1927, and represented New Zealand in 1923–24. He also represented New Zealand at lawn bowls.
Boon was a wicket-keeper and useful lower-order batsman. He was selected to play in both of New Zealand's matches against New South Wales in 1923–24, but after the first match in Christchurch his employer, the Public Trustee, refused to grant him leave to travel to Wellington for the second.[1][2] His highest first-class score was 72 for Canterbury against Auckland in 1926–27.[3]
Boon's first-class career ended when he left Christchurch and moved to Gisborne in 1930.[4] He represented Poverty Bay in Hawke Cup cricket in the 1930s.[5]
