Alfred Perry (1904 – 1974) was an English professional golfer. His greatest achievement was winning The Open Championship in 1935.[1]

Perry was born in Coulsdon, Surrey. He worked as a club professional at Leatherhead Golf Club in addition to playing in the few organised tournaments that there were at the time. He had moderate success before he claimed an unexpected victory in the 1935 Open Championship at Muirfield.[2][3] His most prolific year came in 1938 when he won three tournaments on the British circuit.[1] He retired from his post at Leatherhead in 1972,[4] and died two years later.[1]

Perry was a member of the Great Britain Ryder Cup team in 1933, 1935 and 1937,[1] but played just three matches of which he lost two and tied one.
