The name Alfred may refer to:

Alfred (name)

Alfred is an English given name, one of the few Anglo-Saxon names which saw continued use until modern times. Its Old English form is Ælfræd , composed of the elements ælf " elf" and ræd "counsel". It is also related to the name Alf of Old Norse.

Its most famous bearer was Alfred the Great, the 9th-century English king. Due to the lasting fame of King Alfred, the name remained in use throughout the medieval period. It had, however, become rare by the early modern period, and its popularity was revived in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Famous modern people called Alfred include Alfred Lord Tennyson, Alfred Nobel and Alfred Hitchcock.

Alfred (Arne opera)

Alfred is a sung stage work about Alfred the Great with music by Thomas Arne and a libretto by David Mallet and James Thomson. The work was initially devised as a masque in 1740 and was first performed at Cliveden, country home of Frederick, Prince of Wales, on 1 August 1740, to commemorate the accession of George I and the birthday of the Princess Augusta. Arne later revised the work turning it into an all-sung oratorio in 1745 and then an opera in 1753. It is best known for its finale " Rule, Britannia!".

Alfred (Dvořák)

Alfred is a heroic opera in three acts by the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák. It was Dvořák's first opera and the only one he composed to a German text. The libretto, by Carl Theodor Körner, had already been set by Friedrich von Flotow (as Alfred der Große) and is based on the story of the English king Alfred the Great. Composed in 1870, Alfred was never performed during Dvořák's lifetime. It received its premiere (in Czech translation) at the City Theatre, Olomouc on 10 December 1938.

The opera was performed for the first time with its original German libretto on 17 September 2014, in Prague.
