Alfred Carson OBE (7 November 1859 – 24 August 1944) was an Australian journalist and social worker.
In January 1896 he worked for The West Australian, eventually becoming associate editor.
[3] Carson ran for parliament at the 1922 federal election, unsuccessfully contesting Perth as one of four endorsed Nationalists.
He returned to journalism; he retired from 1938 until he resumed work in 1941 as a result of staff shortages caused by World War II.
Carson also had an active career in social work, founding the Infant Health Association and serving as president of the Silver Chain District Nursing Association and chairman of the Bush Nursing Society (1923–44).
