Alfred Bryan (September 15, 1871 – April 1, 1958) was a Canadian lyricist.

He worked as an arranger in New York and wrote lyrics for many Broadway shows in the late 1910s and early 1920s; often collaborating with composer Jean Schwartz.

Among his collaborators were Henriette Blanke-Belcher,[2] Fred Fischer, Al Sherman, Larry Stock and Joe McCarthy.

[1] Perhaps his most successful song was "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier" (1915), with music by Al Piantadosi.

[4] Although Bryan himself was not a committed pacifist, he described the American public's anti-war sentiments in his lyrics.
