Kofi Cripps (born 3 April 2003) is an English rugby union player who plays for Bristol Bears in the Gallagher Premiership.
Originally part of the Wasps academy system, Cripps represented England U18s in their Six Nations festival as well as England U20s during the 2022 Six Nations Under 20s Championship, both against Scotland U20s and Wales U20s.
On 18 October 2022 all Wasps players had their contacts terminated due to the liquidation of the company to which they were contracted. Since his contract was terminated, Cripps played for fourth tier side Clifton in the National League 2 West for the 2023–24 season.
On 22 February 2024, Cripps would sign for Premiership side Bristol Bears from the 2024–25 season, after making an appearance for them in the Premiership Rugby Cup against Exeter Chiefs.
