Alan Frederick Brazier (7 December 1924 – 18 April 1999) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Surrey and Kent between 1948 and 1956.[1] He was born at Paddington, London and died at Denmead, Hampshire.

Brazier was a right-handed batsman and a very occasional right-arm medium-pace bowler. He was extremely successful as a player for Surrey's second eleven in the Minor Counties competition, and in 1949 he scored 1212 runs, the most ever scored by a player in a single Minor Counties season.[2] But he was unable to bring this form into first-class cricket and never commanded a regular place in the Surrey first team, where his highest score was 92. When Surrey's younger generation of batsmen such as Peter May, Ken Barrington and Micky Stewart gained regular places, Brazier was allowed to leave to join Kent, but he was by that stage beyond the age of 30, and he was not successful in his two seasons there.[2]
