Alfred Daulton Wilkins (1856 — 21 October 1920) was an English first-class cricketer and an officer in the Imperial Forest Service.

The son of Alfred Wilkins senior, he was born in 1856 at Kotri in British India. Wilkins was educated in England at Christ's College, Finchley and later at Tonbridge School, where he played for the cricket eleven and the football thirteen. Following the completion of his education, he returned to India, where he joined the Imperial Forest Service (IFS) in April 1875 as a mail officer in the Bombay Presidency.

He scored 15 runs in his three matches, with a highest score of 13.
