Alfred Chalkley (1904– ) was an English association football player who played as a full-back for West Ham United.

Alf Chalkley, brother of West Ham centre-half George and Dartford left-back Charlie, was born in Plaistow in East London. He played schoolboy football as an outside-left, and was capped for England Boys against Scotland in 1917, although he served with the Army during World War I and later became a steel erector.

Chalkley signed pro forms with West Ham after impressing in a trial game during the 1931-32 season. He made his Division One debut on 29 August 1931, a 1-0 away loss against Bolton Wanderers in front of 12,000 people. Two days later, he experienced a home crowd of 35,000, and a 3-1 win against Chelsea. He went on to make 188 League appearances for the Irons, and was an ever-present during the 1934-35 season. His only goal came against Manchester City on March 2, 1932, a clearance from his own penalty area that somehow managed to clear City 'keeper Len Langford.

Chalkley represented the London FA in a game against Belgian team Diables Rouges, and also played for the London Combination three times.

He retired from the game in 1937.
