Joseph William Henry Makepeace (22 August 1881, Middlesbrough, Yorkshire – 19 December 1952, Bebington, Cheshire) was an English sportsman who appeared for his country four times at each of cricket and football. He is one of just 12 double internationals.

Cricket

Makepeace played in four Tests for England in the 1920/21 Ashes. His first class career with Lancashire lasted from 1906 to 1930. "I count Makepeace amongst the immortals of Lancashire and Yorkshire cricket," wrote Neville Cardus.^[1]

After his retirement from playing, he spent two decades as county coach.^[2]

When Albert Chevallier Tayler was preparing his 1906 painting, Kent vs Lancashire at Canterbury, he arranged sittings with the winning Kent team he was commissioned to celebrate. Tayler also intended to do the same with the non-striking Lancashire batsman Harry Makepeace. Makepeace however was unable to attend a sitting, so Tayler compromised by using William Findley as the batsman. Findlay had not actually played in that particular match, but he was able to travel to Tayler's London studio as he had just been appointed as secretary of Surrey County Cricket Club.^[3]

Football

Makepeace made four appearances as a wing half for the England national football team between 1906 and 1912 whilst on the books of Everton, winning the FA Cup in 1906.
