Alan Badenhorst (born 10 July 1970) is a South African cricketer. He played in 35 first-class and 12 List A matches from 1993/94 to 1998/99.[1]
In 1999, Badenhorst was at the centre of a racial vilification scandal while captaining Eastern Province B in a UCB Bowl game against Griqualand West B. He was accused of referring to Griquas player Mario Arthur as a "half-bred kaffir". A United Cricket Board of South Africa disciplinary committee banned Badenhorst from provincial and club cricket for two years, but he denied the claims and the decision was overturned on appeal.[2]
Badenhorst later moved to England where he played club cricket in the Lancashire League.[3]
