Rhys Crane (born 14 October 1985 in Wolverhampton) is a former rugby union player for London Welsh, who plays at wing. He joined Bath after completing a degree in Sports and Exercise Science at Cardiff University.

Crane made quite an impression during Bath's pre-season friendly against Ulster in August 2008 by scoring three tries [2] and he went on to save the EDF Energy Cup game against Sale Sharks in October 2008 with a last-ditch tackle in the corner that prevented the Sharks from scoring a winning try. [3]

On 31 May 2013, Crane signed for London Welsh in the RFU Championship for 2013/14 season.

Following London Welsh's administration, Crane became the Director of Rugby at Tonbridge School, where he still works.
