Alfred Gaulier (10 November 1829 β 17 January 1898) was a French journalist and politician.
His father was a cavalry officer and he seemed destined for a military career.
At the time of the coup that brought Napoleon III to power he was a sub-lieutenant in the infantry.
He signed a document voting against the coup, and was forced to resign.
After a difficult period, he found work as a journalist throughout the remainder of the Second French Empire and the early years of the French Third Republic.
He was a radical republican, and was elected deputy for the Seine department from 1886 to 1889.
