Alfred Baeumler (November 19, 1887 - March 19, 1968), was a German philosopher and pedagogue, faculty from 1924 to 1933 in the Technische Universität Dresden.
Baeumler was born at Neustadt an der Tafelfichte, Northern Bohemia.

His books were translated in Italian in the late 1990s by the Edizioni di Ar, a far-right publishing house founded in 1963 by Franco Freda, a neo-fascist condemned to 15 years of imprisonment for "subversive association" and involvement in several bombings
