Junior Randalph Murray (born January 20, 1968 in Grenada) is a West Indian cricketer.
One of a handful of Grenadians to play Test cricket for the West Indies, Junior Murray as a wicketkeeper batsman. He started his domestic career as a batsman and only later developed into a keeper, although he never looked entirely confident with the gloves as he was arguably too tall and suffered in comparison with the dapper Jeff Dujon. Nonetheless he played 33 Tests for the West Indies and scored a century in the lower order against New Zealand. He finished his international career, on the disasterous tour of South Africa of 1998-99, with over 100 Test dismissals. He often opened in one day internationals with varying degrees of success.
He played his domestic cricket for the Windward Islands, making his first class debut in the 1986/87 season and playing on into 2006/07. In 148 first class matches up to the end of 2006 he scored 6,813 runs at a handy 31.1 with a best of 218 against Guyana. In 122 list A one day matches he scored 1,895 runs at 23.1 with one unbeaten hundred against Bermuda in the Red Stripe Bowl.
