Alfred Fell (1817 – 2 November 1871) was an early colonist to Nelson in New Zealand. Born in Yorkshire, England, in 1817, he came to Nelson as a single man in 1842 as one of the first settlers of the town. He immediately established himself as a merchant. He married the daughter of a business partner and they had seven children before they returned to Britain for their children's education. Three of his sons permanently returned to New Zealand. The family home from 1854 still stands and is a registered heritage building.
