Ryan Edward Watkins (born 9 June 1983 in Abergavenny) is a Welsh cricketer. He played for Glamorgan and is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler.

As a teenager, he captained Gwent and Wales before signing a development contract with the Welsh County side.

Watkins made his debut in 2005 and contributed with both the bat and the ball during 2006, when he was consistently in the first XI.

Watkins also holds the record by a Glamorgan soutfielder for holding the most catches in a match: he caught 7 in a County Championship match against Kent County Cricket Club.

In 2009, he secured the record for 20/20 bowling with 5–16 against Gloucestershire, but was released by Glamorgan after the 2009 season.
