Tilson Pritchard (1872 – after 1894) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath.[1]

Pritchard was born in Walsall Wood, Staffordshire, and joined Small Heath from Burntwood Swifts in April 1894. Despite failing to impress in the United Counties League, a minor competition,[2] he stood in for the injured Dowk Oliver in the First Division match away to Blackburn Rovers on 5 January 1895. Blackburn won 9–1,[3] and Pritchard soon returned to non-league football with Lichfield Town.[2]
