Alfred de Pischof (born May 17, 1882 in Vienna, Austria; died August 12, 1922 in Villacoublay, France) was an Austrian aviation pioneer.^[1] 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 and Gabriel Voisin. By 1906, Alfred had created his own glider, and in 1907, his first biplane.^[2] In 1909, De Pischof returned to Austria, and worked as designer for Werner & Pfleiderer. He designed the Pischof-Autoplan; this aircraft first flew in March of 1910, flying for 400 metres.^[3] On April 24, 1910, he earned his pilot's certificate.

After the First World War, De Pischof returned to France, and focused on small aircraft. He died when he crashed an aircraft during testing.
