Nigel Esme Haig (12 December 1887 in London – 27 October 1966 in Eastbourne, Sussex) was a cricketer who played for Middlesex and England.

Tall, stringy and deceptively frail in appearance, Haig played regularly from 1912 to 1934 as an amateur batsman who could open the innings or bat further down the order and as a tireless swing bowler somewhat above medium pace. His all-round usefulness is shown by the fact that he made 1,000 runs in a season six times and took 100 wickets five times. He did the all-rounder's double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in a season three times, in 1921, 1927 and 1929. He was captain of Middlesex for six seasons from 1929, sharing the job in the last two years with H. J. Enthoven.

Haig's Test match career was undistinguished. He was brought in to the England team, like so many others, for just one match and then discarded in the 1921 series against the all-conquering Australians under Warwick Armstrong. Eight years later, in 1929-30, he was a member of Freddie Calthorpe's team that played the first four Tests in the West Indies.

Haig was a nephew of Lord Harris and an all-round sportsman, good at real tennis, lawn tennis, rackets and golf.
