Albertus Eckhoff (24 June 1875 – 1 April 1949) was a New Zealand cricketer.
[2] Principally a bowler, he made his representative debut for Otago against Wellington at the Basin Reserve as a late replacement for John Harkness,[3] although he did not take a wicket in the match and was generally considered not to be the best alternative available for Otago.
[4][5] Despite his performance, he retained his place for Otago's last representative match of the season, again due to other players being unavailable.
[4] In his 15 first-class matches Eckhoff took 21 wickets, with best figures of 6/21―figures from his second representative match, a performance which The Press called "sensational", commenting that although "he sent down a lot of loose stuff, he also bowled some really good balls";[6] the Dunedin Evening Star's reporter was of the opinion that "he will do great things for Otago yet".
