Henry Attfield (1756 – c. 1829) was an English cricketer who is recorded in a total of 27 matches between 1773 and 1789, 20 of which have been given retrospective first-class status. He played mainly for Chertsey and Surrey sides.
Born at Bagshot, he lived for much of his life in Chertsey, where he was a sawyer by trade. Besides Chertsey and Surrey, Attfield played in three matches for England teams,[note 1] and once for the Duke of Dorset's XI. In addition, he was twice a given man for Hampshire. His name was usually shortened to 'Field' and this was often used on match scorecards.[3]
