Alfred Bock (14 October 1859, Giessen, Grand Duchy of Hesse – 6 March 1932, Giessen) was a German writer.[1] In 1924, Bock was awarded the prestigious Georg Büchner Prize, the most important literary prize for German language literature.[2][3][4]

Bock was educated at the University of Giessen.[3] Deutsche Biographie described Bock's style as "the art of a strong and comfortable bourgeoisie who takes people as forces of nature and the world without coloured glass."[5]
