Cyril Gladstone Eames (20 October 1890 – 1 August 1974) was a British tennis player.

Eames was most active in the 1920s and made the Wimbledon singles second round four times. [1]

It was his doubles partnership with Gordon Crole-Rees that he was most known for. The pair won the British Covered Court Championships, twice made the Wimbledon doubles quarter-finals and were doubles semi-finalists at the 1925 French Championships, where they lost in five sets to Jean Borotra and René Lacoste. [2] They featured together in the 1928 and 1929 International Lawn Tennis Challenge ( Davis Cup) campaigns, winning four of their five doubles rubbers. [3] In their only loss, to Italy in the 1928 Europe Zone semi-final, they had held match points [4]

In 1931 he announced his intention to retire from the tour. [5]
