Alfred Edward Goodey (1878–1945) was a collector of paintings, prints and photographs, especially those connected with the English Midlands town of Derby.

[2] He began collecting oils, watercolours, prints and photographs in 1886, searching as far afield as America for anything to do with Derby.

[2] Goodey had a range of interests including natural history and walking in Derbyshire; he was an amateur Shakespearean actor founding a local society and arranging "The Loft" for rehearsals near his own house, 40 Ashbourne Road, Derby.

He has been described as a man about town in plus fours and a full beard and moustache who would frequent his favourite pub on Sadler Gate and discuss the issues of the day.

Three of the paintings given to the Derby Museum and Art Gallery by Goodey were by artist Ernest Ellis Clark.
