Alfred Cumming (January 30, 1829 – December 5, 1910) was a Confederate brigadier general in the American Civil War.

In the prewar United States Army, he served mainly in the West, including two years in Louisiana as an aide to Brig.

In January 1861, he resigned a captaincy in the 10th United States Infantry to accept the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the Augusta Volunteer Battalion.

His performance earned him the temporary command of an Alabama brigade prior to the Maryland Campaign due to the illness of Brigadier General Cadmus M. Wilcox.

Captured and paroled with the city's garrison, he reorganized Stevenson's old brigade at Decatur, Georgia, in the fall of 1863 and led it gallantly at Missionary Ridge.
