Alfonzo Giordano (born c. 1937) was a senior ranking officer in the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD), having achieved the rank of Inspector before his retirement in 1982. He was convicted of bribery charges in 1986.

Giordano was a high-ranking officer in the Department throughout the tenure of Frank Rizzo while Rizzo was Police Commissioner and mayor. He was a member of the force during the summer of 1964 when race riots devoured much of the city.

In 1986, he was convicted of accepting $57,000 in bribes.[1]
