Alois Seyfried (1856–1930) was an executioner active in Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
[1] On 1 August 1886, he was appointed temporary executioner (provisorischer Scharfrichter) for Bosnia, which was then under Austro-Hungarian occupation in accordance with the 1878 Treaty of Berlin.
[2] After World War I, Bosnia became a part of the newly created Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later renamed Yugoslavia).
Alois once claimed to have been apprenticed to the Viennese executioner Joseph Lang before leaving for Bosnia.
The last person whom he executed was Alija Alijagić, who was hanged in Zagreb on 8 March 1922 for the assassination of Interior Minister Milorad Drašković the previous year.
