Alfred Ernest Beamish (6 August 1879 – 28 February 1944) was a British tennis player born in Richmond, Surrey, England. He finished as runner-up to James Cecil Parke in the Men's Singles final of the Australasian Championships, the future Australian Open in 1912.[1] Beamish also partnered with Charles Dixon to win the bronze medal in the indoor doubles event at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics.[2] He was the runner-up in one of tennis's early majors, the World Covered Court Championship in 1921. He competed at the 1920 Summer Olympics.[3] He was also twice a semifinalist at Wimbledon in 1912 (where he beat Gordon Lowe before losing to Arthur Gore)[4] and 1914 (where he lost to Norman Brookes).[4] Beamish was married to Wimbledon singles semi-finalist Winifred Beamish.
