Walter John Garwood (30 April 1849 – 10 April 1885) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played two first-class matches, one for Otago during the 1873–74 season and the other for Wellington in 1876–77.[1][2]

Garwood was the highest scorer on either side in his first first-class match, scoring 31 in the first innings for Otago against Auckland when no one else in the match reached 20.[3] Garwood was born in England and worked as a miner. He died of tuberculosis at Brisbane Hospital in 1885 aged 36.[4][5]
