Alfred Payne (28 April 1858 23 July 1943) was an English cricketer. Payne was a right-handed batsman whose bowling style is unknown, though it is known he fielded occasionally as a wicket-keeper. He was born at East Grinstead, Sussex.

Payne made his first-class debut for Sussex against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1880. He made sixteen further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Gloucestershire in 1886.[1] In his seventeen matches for Sussex, he scored 275 runs at an average of 9.16, with a high score of 42.[2] He also made a single first-class appearance for the Players against the Gentlemen in 1881.[1]

Outside of cricket, Payne worked as a shoemaker, an occupation which had long been associated with his family.[3] It is known that by 1881 he was single and living with his parents, William and Harriett, both in their sixties.[3] He died at Uckfield, Sussex, on 23 July 1943. His brother, William, played first-class cricket, as did his uncles Charles Payne, Richard Payne and Joseph Payne. Another possible relation is the cricketer George Payne, who was born in East Grinstead.
