Alfred Renfrew Richards (14 December, 1867 – 9 January, 1904), was an South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1896.
Richards was born in Grahamstown, Cape Colony. He played for Western Province in some of the earliest provincial matches in South Africa, and in 1893-94, his 108 was the highest score as his team beat Natal to win the Currie Cup.
His next first-class match was against "Lord Hawke's XI" in 1895-96 and his 58, scored out of a total of 122, won him selection for the third representative match of the series, retrospectively accorded Test match status. Richards captained the side, but scored only 6 and 0 as South Africa lost by an innings and 33 runs. He never played first-class cricket again.
Richards' older brothers, Dicky and Joseph, also played for Western Province and Dicky appeared in one Test match in 1888-89.
He died at Harare, Zimbabwe (then Salisbury, Rhodesia).
