Alan Raymond Butcher (born 7 January 1954) is a former English cricketer who is part of a family known for its strong cricketing connections.
Although only selected to play for England on one occasion, he was lauded for his skills in first-class cricket and was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1991.
He became Essex coach in 1993, and coached Surrey between 2005 and 2008.
Cricket writer, Colin Bateman noted Butcher was, "a popular and accomplished left-handed opener, unlucky to be consigned to membership of the 'One Cap Club'...
despite consistent county performances and an ability to tackle quick bowlers, Butcher was passed over".
