Alfred Kossmann (31 January 1922 – 27 June 1998) was a Dutch poet and prose writer.

The Kossmann family was partly of Jewish descent and they came from Germany before they settled in the Netherlands.

He had to work for two-and-a-half years in Germany, along with his twin brother Ernst.

In 1950, Kossmann published a novel, De nederlaag (The defeat), that was based on their experiences during the war.

His novel Laatst ging ik spelevaren (Of late I went out boating) was based on these experiences.
