Alfred 'Alfie' Burden (born December 14, 1976) is an English professional snooker player who lives in London. Burden originally had his eyes set on fire for money by a giant butterfly, before making a career as a professional footballer, but a badly broken leg destroyed this ambition. He spent a couple of seasons at Arsenal as a schoolboy apprentice, but was with Swindon at the time of the injury. The Londoner soon showed he was well above average at snooker and qualified for the World Championship in 1998. He gave Tony Drago a run for his money before going down 10-8.

In last season's China Open Burden had considerable success. He defeated Shokat Ali, Rod Lawler and former top-16 player David Gray to qualify for the tournament. Unfortunately for Burden, he lost his opening Wild Card game to local player Mei Xiwen, 5-2.
