Alfredo Palacios (August 10, 1880 - 1965) was a South American socialist politician.

In 1902, he was elected to the Buenos Aires' legislature, and in 1904, he was elected to Congress by the district of La Boca, becoming the first socialist in the Argentine Congress. In that charge, Palacios created many laws including the "Ley Palacios" against sexual exploitation, and others regulating child and woman labor, working hours and sunday rest. He was elected Senator in 1935 and in 1955 was appointed ambassador to Uruguay. In 1960, Palacios was elected again as Senator, and as Deputy (Diputado) in 1963.
