Duncan Albert Sharpe (born August 3, 1937, Rawalpindi, Punjab) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in three Tests in 1959. Sharpe was unusual in that he was Anglo-Pakistani, he was therefore one of the few white/Christian players to play for Pakistan.
Sharpe made his Test debut against Australia on November 13, 1959. He top scored for Pakistan in both innings, scoring 56 and 35. He was dropped for the next series and emigrated to Australia in 1960. He played Sheffield Shield cricket with South Australia alongside the likes of Gary Sobers.
Sharpe lives with his wife in Victoria, Australia.
