Alfred E. Alquist (August 2, 1908 – March 27, 2006) was a California politician.

Born in 1908 in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of a Swedish immigrant who worked for the railroads, Alquist was barely a teenager when he started carrying water to railroad work crews.

In the legislature, Alquist also helped to establish the Santa Clara County transit system, the state's earthquake safety programs OSHPD and Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act, HSSA, and the state Energy Commission.

A pragmatic New Deal Democrat, he earned a reputation for helping the poor and representing the interests of labor.
