Albert Edward Armese Goldman, also known as Arthur Goldman, (4 October 1868 – 1937) was an Australian cricketer. He played one first-class match for Queensland in 1893. He was a brother-in-law of Charlie Turner.[1]

As of January 1893 Goldman was playing for the Brisbane Graziers Cricket Club,[2] and in April he was selected to represent Queensland in the state's inaugural first-class game against New South Wales in Brisbane.[3] In 1894 Goldman moved to South Africa where he became a skater and in 1896 he completed a lap in a race in 11 minutes and 6 seconds which was the record for South Africa.[4] He also played cricket while in South Africa, scoring a 297 in Johannesberg in 1897,[5] and lived in the country until returning to Australia in 1900.[6]

By 1916 he had begun playing cricket again and scored 40 and took 8 for 11 in a game for the Double Bay Pastime Club against a H.M.A.S. Tingira team. He had two sons serving in the army as of 1916.[7] He continued playing into his old age scoring 65 and 112 for the Double Bay Club against a Windsor team in 1923.[8] In 1925 he suffered a severe illness and was hospitalized but recovered.[9]

Goldman died in 1937 and was buried in Rookwood Jewish Cemetery in July with his tombstone being consecrated during a collective consecration.[10]
