Walter Oswald Vizard (16 November 1861 – 10 January 1929) was an English cricketer. Vizard was a right-handed batsman who fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born in Bellary, Madras Presidency in the British Raj (today India). He was educated at Clifton College.

Vizard made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire against Middlesex in 1882. He made seventeen further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Surrey in 1890. In his eighteen first-class matches, he scored 256 runs at an average of 8.53, with a high score of 49 not out. Behind the stumps he made 11 catches and made a single stumping.

By 1891, Vizard had moved to Hertfordshire and was enlisted in the 1st (Hertfordshire) Volunteer Battalion, the Bedfordshire Regiment as a 2nd lieutenant. He held the rank of lieutenant in 1895, in September of that year he was promoted to captain. By 1896, he was in partnership as a solicitor with a Charles Lothian Nicholson, son of General Lothian Nicholson, based in London, however in that year the partnership was dissolved by mutual consent. He was also in partnership as a solicitor with a Lionel Monk Smith, but this partnership too was dissolved by mutual consent in 1897. In 1897, he made a single appearance for Hertfordshire in the Minor Counties Championship against Norfolk. By 1902, he was in partnership with a Henry Theodore Monro, but the partnership was dissolved by mutual consent in that year.
