Alnod John Boger JP (31 August 1871 – 3 June 1940) was an English first-class cricketer and barrister.

The son of Hext Boger and Blanche Luz Bacon (daughter of Major General Anthony Bacon), he was born in August 1871 at Stonehouse, Devon.[1] He was educated at Windlesham House School and Winchester College, before going up to Magdalen College, Oxford.[2][3]

While studying at Oxford, Boger made six appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1891 and 1892.[4] He scored a total of 143 runs in his six matches, at an average of 13.00 and a high score of 41 not out.[5] With his right-arm slow bowling, he took 9 wickets with best figures of 6 for 63,[6] which came against the Marylebone Cricket Club on debut in 1891.[7] He gained a blue in cricket and represented the university in golf in 1893 and 1894.[8] After graduating from Oxford, he was called to the bar as a member of the Inner Temple. Ineligible for active service as the result of losing an eye in a shooting accident, he volunteered as an ambulance driver for the British Red Cross Society at the start of World War I and ended the conflict as a lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve.[9][10][11] He later served as a justice of the peace and was the High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1925.[1][12] Boger died at Oxford in June 1940.[8]
