Arthur Aldersley

William Arthur Aldersley (4 December 1888 – 17 March 1981) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in six first-class matches for Wellington between the 1909–10 season and 1922–23.

Aldersley was born at Keighley in Yorkshire in 1888. His family emigrated to New Zealand when he was a child and he was educated at Mount Cook School in Wellington. He was a founding member of Lower Hutt Cricket Club and played regularly for the team for more than 25 years. Considered one of the best all-rounders in local cricket, he was described by The Dominion in 1930 as "a really good batsman, a clever slow spin bowler and a useful fieldsman" as well as "a most likeable personality". Playing for Hutt in a senior club match in Wellington in March 1920, he took all 10 wickets in an innings.

In 1931, Aldersley was elected as the chair of the Wellington selection committee.

Aldersley worked as a dispensing chemist. He married Myrtle Olive Wilton in Wellington in October 1910. He died at Lower Hutt in 1981 aged 92. An obituary was published in the 1981 New Zealand Cricket Almanack.
