Charles Garnet Fynn (24 April 1897 — 26 August 1976) was an English first-class cricketer.

Fynn was born at Marylebone in April 1897. He began his club cricket as a young fast bowler, but was wounded during the First World War and as a result he never bowled fast again.[1] After the war he reinvented himself as a leg break googly bowler, making his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Lancashire at Bournemouth in the 1930 County Championship. He took the wickets of Jack Iddon and Malcolm Taylor with his first over in first-class cricket.[2] He played first-class cricket for Hampshire until 1931, making nine appearances.[3] Fynn took 11 wickets in his nine matches, at an average of 40.54, with best figures of 3 for 92.[4] As a tailend batsman, he scored 45 runs with a highest score of 21.[5] Following his playing career, Fynn was a founder the Bournemouth Amateurs Cricket Club and played in club cricket in Bournemouth.[1] He died at Bournemouth in August 1976.
