Alfred Edward Ackroyd (14 January 1885 – 21 May 1952) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Otago and Canterbury in the 1906–07 and 1907–08 seasons.[1][2]

Ackroyd was born at Dunedin in 1885. Outside of cricket he worked as a warehouseman.[3] He played three times for Otago during the 1906–07 season, making his debut against Canterbury in December 1906 before playing in both of Otago's matches against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club side in January 1907. The following season he played once for Canterbury against Otago, recording two ducks.[2]
