Mary Alice Walker (1898 – ?) was an English women's association football player and the earliest known women's player to be transferred between clubs for a fee. She was one of four players who moved from Lancaster Ladies to Dick, Kerr Ladies F.C. after a match between the clubs in December 1917, and the only of the four offered compensation specific to her transfer. She debuted for Dick, Kerr Ladies against Barrow-in-Furness at Deepdale on Good Friday of 1918, in which Walker scored the match-winning goal.[2][3]
