Archibald Frank Engelbach (1 January 1881 – 14 December 1961) was an English badminton player. He competed in the All England Badminton Championships, winning the men's doubles title in 1920 under the alias A. Fee. He was a schools gymnastic champion before taking up badminton and became a prominent badminton judge. This resulted in him being uncapped for the England team.[2] In 1930 he married Violet Baddeley, also a well known badminton player, daughter of Herbert Baddeley, the four-time winner of the Wimbledon doubles. He died in December 1961 at his home in London aged 80.[3]
