Alfred John Day Diver (born 6 July 1823 in Cambridge and died 25 March 1876 in Rugby) was an English cricketer whose career spanned the 1843 season to the 1866 season. Diver played mainly for Cambridgeshire CCC during its period as a first-class county and also played for Middlesex and Nottinghamshire CCC.

Diver is best known as a reliable batsman for various All-England Eleven teams. 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 ever overseas cricket tour.

His nephew, Edwin Diver, played over 200 first-class games, mostly for Surrey CCC and Warwickshire CCC.
