Alan Stimpson (9 July 1951 – 22 August 1994) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in twenty-four first-class and eight List A matches for Northern Districts from 1974 to 1979.[1]
Stimpson attended Takapuna Grammar School.[2] He was a right-arm opening bowler. His best first-class figures were 6 for 46 when Northern Districts beat Wellington in 1975–76.[3] His most successful season was his last, 1978–79, when he took 22 wickets at an average of 27.77.[4] He was selected in a New Zealand Invitational XI for a one-day match against the touring Australians in January 1977, which the New Zealand team won by 12 runs.[5][6]
In August 1994 Stimpson's body was found on Manukau Harbour mudflats. He had been drinking and had drowned after hurting his head in a fall.[7]
