Alfred Wilson (24 May 1828 – 2 January 1908) was an English first-class cricketer and barrister.

The son of James Wilson, he was born at London in May 1828. He was educated at Rugby School,[1] before going up to Exeter College, Oxford. While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1848. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1850, making eight appearances.[2] In his eight first-class matches for Oxford, he scored 119 runs with a high score of 43 not out.[3] In addition to playing for Oxford, Wilson also appeared in first-class cricket for the MCC on five occasions from 1851–55,[2] scoring 107 runs with a high score of 28.[3]

A student of Lincoln's Inn, he was called to the bar as a barrister in November 1857.[4] He was a justice of the peace for both Essex and Kent. Wilson died in January 1908 at East Preston, Sussex.[5] His son, Sidney, also played first-class cricket.
