Alfred Charles Chabert (Chambéry, 29 February 1836 – Chambéry, 1 October 1916) was a physician in the French army and a botanist. He developed an interest in botany at an early age. He started to explore the natural life around his home town in 1848, at the age of twelve, together with his friend and botanist André Songeon (1826–1905). Several plant species were named in his honor, such as Lamanonia chabertii, Knautia chabertii, Luzula chabertii, and Rhinanthus chabertii.
