Robert Ayling (dates unknown) was an English cricketer who made two appearances in 1796, both for Kent against Middlesex.[1][3] He scored a total of 22 runs in his four innings, with a highest score of 11.[4]
He is known to have played for Woolwich Cricket Club in a match in 1806 against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's Old Ground and for a 23-man Kent in an odds match[b] in 1807 against England (i.e., the "rest" of England) at Penenden Heath.[1] William Ayling, who was possibly his brother, played in both of these matches for the same team.[1][2]
