Alfred Day (2 October 1907 – 1997) was a Welsh professional footballer who played at wing half for Tottenham Hotspur, Millwall, Southampton, Tranmere Rovers, Swindon Town in the 1930s and represented Wales at international level on one occasion.
Day was born in Ebbw Vale and attended Pontygof School. After playing youth football with his home-town club, he moved to London where he began his career at non League club Cheshunt. In May 1931, he signed for Tottenham Hotspur as a trainee, being "farmed out" to the Spurs' nursery team Northfleet United, where he joined his former Ebbw Vale colleague, Eugene "Taffy" O'Callaghan.
On 4 November 1933, Day made his only international appearance for Wales. The Football Association of Wales secretary, Ted Robbins, rang the secretary at Spurs, Arthur Turner, to enquire if he knew anyone who could help out the depleted Welsh team. Turner mentioned that he had a promising reserve half-back who he believed was Welsh, leading to Day being capped before having appeared in League football. The match at Windsor Park, Belfast against Northern Ireland ended in a 1–1 draw.
