Alfred Deutsch-German (1870–1943) was an Austrian journalist, playwright, screenwriter, and film director.
From 1913 he worked for the Wiener Kunstfilm company as a screenwriter. Between 1922 and 1934 he directed eight films. Deutsch-German worked in the Austrian film industry until the Anschluss of 1938, but with less direct involvement in the production of films towards the end. After the so-called Anschluss of Austria to Germany, he went into exile in Nice in order to escape persecution by the National Socialists as a Jew. There he was interned in the Drancy collection camp and deported to Auschwitz on October 28, 1943, where he was gassed a short time later.
