Alfred Perry ("Bunny") Lucas (20 February 1857 in Westminster, London – 12 October 1923 in Great Waltham, Essex) was an English first-class cricketer from 1874 to 1907, playing for Cambridge University, Essex, Middlesex and Surrey. He also played five Test matches for England.

Lucas captained Surrey in 1879 and Essex in 1894. Although known to his chums as "Bunny", he is referred to in all cricket sources, including contemporary reports, either by his surname or as "A. P. Lucas". To the players under his leadership, he was simply "The Boss".
