Grenville David "Gren" Alabaster (born 10 December 1933) is a New Zealand former first-class cricketer who played for Otago, Canterbury and Northern Districts between 1955 and 1976. A winner of the New Zealand Cricket Almanack Player of the Year Award in 1972, Alabaster was an all-rounder: a right-arm off-break bowler and left-handed batsman. He toured with New Zealand to Australia in 1973–74, but never played in a Test match. His brother Jack Alabaster played 21 Tests; the two brothers played together for Otago and Southland for many years.
