Albert Atkins (26 March 1867 - 17 August 1943) was an Australian cricketer.[1] He played twelve first-class matches for New South Wales and Queensland between 1895/96 and 1905/06.[2]
Atkins was a middle-order batsman and excellent fieldsman in the outfield, praised in 1896 for his "brilliancy and cat-like dash".[3] He captained Queensland on several occasions, including the closely fought match against New South Wales in Sydney in 1902-03 when he made his two highest scores, 82 and 60.[4] He and his wife Emily had three children.[5]
