Charles Daniel Crofts (30 August 1822 – 15 April 1893) was an English cricketer. Crofts' batting and bowling styles are unknown.

Crofts was born at Lewes, Sussex, and was educated at Winchester College and St John's College, Cambridge.[1] He made a single first-class appearance for Sussex against Nottinghamshire in 1840 at Trent Bridge.[2] In Sussex's first-innings, he was dismissed for a duck by Thomas Barker, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for the same score by Sam Redgate.[3] While studying at the University of Cambridge, he later made two first-class appearances for Cambridge University Cricket Club against Cambridge Town Club and Oxford University in 1843, though with little success.[2]

He died at Caythorpe, Lincolnshire, on 15 April 1893.
