Alfred William Pollard est un bibliographe et bibliothécaire britannique né le 14 août 1859 à Londres et mort le 8 mars 1944 à Wimbledon.

Après des études à la King's College School de Londres et au St John's College de l'université d'Oxford, Alfred Pollard rejoint la bibliothèque du British Museum (aujourd'hui la British Library) en 1883, comme assistant au département des imprimés. Il en devient directeur adjoint (assistant keeper) en 1909 et directeur (garde, keeper) en 1919.

Professeur de bibliographie anglaise à l'université de Londres, secrétaire honoraire de la Bibliographical Society (1893-1934), responsable pendant plus de trente ans de la revues The Library (1903-1934), A. W. Pollard est l'auteur avec G.R. Redgrave du Short-Title Catalogue of English Books Printed in England,Scotland, and Ireland, and of English books Printed Abroad, 1475-1640 (Londres, 1926), première tentative de bibliographie nationale, qui préfigure de nombreux travaux actuels.

Il a publié sur un grand nombre de sujets touchant à la littérature anglaise. Il a notamment édité des œuvres de Thomas Malory et une collection de « Fifteenth Century Poetry and Prose ». Ses rigoureux travaux sur Shakespear ont joué un grand rôle dans l'appréhension actuelle de son œuvre.
