B. M. Close's Ground was a cricket ground at Southborough in the English county of Kent. The ground was established in 1859 by Robert Winnifrith on land owned by George Newnham and was described in 1862 as "one of the best cricket grounds in Kent". The first recorded match on the ground was in 1859, when a Tunbridge Wells side played a New All-England Eleven. In 1867, Kent County Cricket Club played a county match against Hampshire in the ground's only first-class cricket match.
The final recorded match held on the ground saw Southborough play a team of Surrey Professionals in 1879. In the 1930s the site of the ground, which was to the west of the centre of Soutborough, was built on and a housing estate covers the general area of the ground today.
