Albert Edward Fielder (3 April 1889 – 29 April 1947) was an English first-class cricketer.

Fielder was born at Sarisbury Green in April 1899. He was noted in Cricket as being "a player of considerable promise",[1] making his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Surrey at The Oval in the 1911 County Championship.[2] His debut was a success, with Fielder taking figures of 5 for 128 in Surrey's first innings.[3] In his following match against Gloucestershire at Bristol, he put on 147 for the tenth wicket with Edward Sprot (125 not out);[4] Fielder was eventually dismissed for 35 by George Dennett.[5] Following this innings, Cricket described him "a batsman of some nerve and ability".[1] Despite his perceived promise, Fielder would make one further first-class appearance for Hampshire, against Leicestershire at Southampton.[2] In his three first-class matches, he took 6 wickets at an average of 37.50.[6] As a lower order batsman, he scored 38 runs at a batting average of 12.66.[7] Fielder died at Southampton in April 1947.
