Abel Thomas Frederick Bunn (7 February 1861 – 20 November 1921) was an English footballer who played at centre half. He was born in West Bromwich and attended Christ Church School, before working at the local George Salter's Spring Works. He played for West Bromwich Albion from September 1879 and scored in the 1883 Staffordshire Senior Cup Final as Albion won their first ever trophy.
