'''Alfred de Pischof''' (born May 17, 1882 in Vienna, Austria; died August 12, 1922 in Villacoublay, France) was an Austrian aviation pioneer. From 1901–1907, he attended the Collége Chaptal and École Speciale des Traveaux publiques in Paris, France. He studied road and railway engineering; his grandfather had been a railway specialist. De Pischof had also been interested in aircraft technology, and he often visited [[Charles Voisin|Charles]] and [[Gabriel Voisin]].
