Alfred Speakman (August 24, 1880 – November 4, 1943) was a politician from Alberta, Canada.
Speakman was born August 24, 1880, in Dundee, Scotland, to James Speakman and Mary Hannah Farrar, where he attended the High School of Dundee,[1] before his family emigrated to Canada in 1891.
Speakman was instrumental in the Unity Movement which united Alberta's opposition parties against the Social Credit government.
On October 12, 1937, Speakman, as a long-serving Member of Parliament, brought delegates from the United Farmers, Conservatives, Liberals and some disillusioned Social Crediters to a conference in Red Deer that brought the Unity coalition together.
[4] Speakman died suddenly at his home in Edmonton on November 4, 1943, after suffering from poor health.
