Aloysius Gottifredi

Aloysius (Alessandro Luigi) Gottifredi (3 May 1595 – 12 March 1652) was an Italian Jesuit, the ninth Superior-General of the Society of Jesus.

His service is the shortest of anyone to hold the office.

This Congregation remains the only one to have elected two Superiors General, as it immediately elected Gottifredi's successor, Goswin Nickel.

Gottifredi had been a professor of Theology and Rector of the Roman College, and later secretary of the Society under Father Mutius Vitelleschi.
