Alfred Faust (15 December 1883, Soultzmatt – 14 June 1961, Bremen) was a German advertising executive, journalist, editor, and left-wing politician.
When the war ended in 1918, he became heavily involved in radical politics, joining the December Reich Council Congress (German: Reichsrätekongress) in Berlin.
He was selected by the city's workers' and soldiers' council to serve as People's Commissar of press and propaganda, together with Curt Stoermer.
After the defeat of the Bremen Soviet Republic at the hands of the Army and Freikorps Caspari, he became chief editor of the Bremer Arbeiterzeitung.
The same month, after the rise of the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler, he helped the fellow SDP politician Rudolf Breitscheid escape to Switzerland, but returned to Bremen himself.
