Alfred Chalkley (October 21, 1904 – July 7, 1985) was an English association football player who played as a full-back for West Ham United.[1]

Chalkley, brother of West Ham centre-half George and Dartford left-back Charlie, was born in Plaistow. He played schoolboy football as an outside-left, and was capped for England Boys against Scotland in 1917, although he served with the Army during World War I and later became a steel erector.[1]

Chalkley signed pro forms with West Ham after impressing in a trial game during the 1931–32 season.[1] He made his Division One debut on 29 August 1931, a 1–0 away loss against Bolton Wanderers in front of 15,740 people. Two days later, he experienced a home crowd of 28,338, and a 3–1 win against Chelsea.[2] He went on to make 202 League and FA Cup appearances for the Irons,[3] and was an ever-present during the 1934–35 season.[4] His only goal came against Manchester City on 2 March 1932,[2] a clearance from his own penalty area that somehow managed to clear City 'keeper Len Langford.[1]

Chalkley represented the London FA in a game against Diables Rouges of Belgium, and also played for the London Combination three times.[1]

He retired from professional football in 1937, although records show him playing for West Ham during World War II.[2]
