Alfonso Bedoya (April 16, 1904 – December 15, 1957) was a Mexican actor.
Born in Sonora, Bedoya had, allegedly, a nomadic childhood upbringing that included an education in Houston, Texas. He found work, mainly as a character actor in the US film industry in the 1930s and the Mexican film industry in the 1940s. He is best remembered as "Gold Hat", the bandit leader who declares he doesn't have to show any "stinking badges" in John Huston's 1948 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
