Alfred Ackroyd (born August 29, 1858 in Oakroyd Hall, Birkenshaw, Leeds, Yorkshire, England and died October 3, 1927 in Eccles, Lancashire, England) was an English cricketer who played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler. He only ever made two appearances for Yorkshire and averaged 15 with the bat and 10.66 with the ball taking 3 wickets.
Afast bowler with a fierce break-back, his action was strongly criticised in Lillywhite,s Companion for 1880. Also a dangerous, unorthodox hitter, he was very successful for Uppingham Rovers.
