Alfred Clarence Waterman (31 December 1903 — 22 October 1997) was a New Zealand international rugby union player active in the 1920s. [1]

A diminutive wing three-quarter, Waterman was an Auckland Grammar School 1st XV player in 1920. [2]

Waterman was based during his career in Whangarei, having moved there to take up work as a post office technician. His union, North Auckland, had a sparse fixture list and Waterman didn't play representative rugby until 1928. A strong performance against Auckland earned Waterman an All Blacks trial and he won a place on the 1929 tour of Australia. [3] He scored four tries in an early tour match against Newcastle, aiding his selection for the opening Test in Sydney. [2]
