Duncan Albert Sharpe (born 3 August 1937, Rawalpindi, Punjab) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in three Tests in 1959. Sharpe was an Anglo-Pakistani, therefore he was one of the few Christian players to play for Pakistan.
Sharpe made his Test debut against Australia on 13 November 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.
