Alfred Dorfer (German pronunciation: [ˈalfʀeːt ˈdɔʁfɐ]; 11 October 1961, Vienna) is an Austrian comedian, writer, and actor. He is one of the most well-known cabaret artists and comedians in Austria, not least due to his commitment to numerous Austrian film productions.

He currently presents a show on the Austrian channel ORF called Dorfers Donnerstalk[6] on Thursday nights, which is a mix of stand-up comedy, sketches and social commentary.
