Alfred John Day Diver (6 July 1823 – 25 March 1876) was an English first-class cricketer whose career spanned the 1843 season to the 1866 season. Diver played mainly for Cambridge-based sides and the All England Eleven
Popularly known as "Ducky", Diver is best known as a reliable batsman. Following the 1859 English cricket season, he was one of the 12-strong party of English players who toured North America. Led by George Parr, this was the first overseas cricket tour.
His nephew, Edwin Diver, played over 200 first-class games, mostly for Surrey and Warwickshire.
