Alfred Dünmann (5 December 1884 5 June 1942), commonly known as Fritz Dünmann, was an Austrian footballer who played as a striker. He played in three matches for the Austria national football team from 1906 to 1907.

Dünmann was born in Vienna.[1][2] He played as a striker for Rapid Wien and for the Austria national team,[1] earning three caps from 1906 to 1907, and scoring two goals.[3]

Being a Jew, Dünmann was deported to Dachau concentration camp in the November pogrom in 1938, but was released and went into exile in France.[1] However, he was imprisoned again in 1941, and was deported via various intermediate camps to Auschwitz concentration camp, where he was eventually murdered on 5 June 1942.[1][2]
