Sir Everton de Courcy Weekes (born 26 February 1925, Pickwick Gap, Westbury, St Michael, Barbados) was a West Indian cricketer.
Weekes was a member of the 'three W's', along with Clyde Walcott and Frank Worrell, noted as outstanding batsmen from Barbados who all made their debut in 1948 against England. His most famous feat took place in 1948/1949, when he scored a Test-record five centuries in consecutive innings, and was run-out within ten runs of a sixth. These were Weekes' first five centuries, and this record still stands as of 2005.
Other notable achievements include three centuries in consecutive innings against New Zealand in 1956, a partnership of 338 with Frank Worrell against England in 1954, still a West Indian record for the third wicket in Tests, and a Knighthood for services to cricket in 1995.
As of September 2005, Weekes' career Test batting average of 58.61 is the seventh highest of all players with 30 or more innings. He retired from Test cricket in 1958, and in 1994 served as an ICC match referee.
