Alfred Florian Beiter (July 7, 1894 – March 11, 1974) was an American politician and a United States Representative from New York. He was a Democrat.
Beiter was born the son of Nicholas I and Elizabeth E Wyman Beiter in Clarence, Erie County, New York. He attended Williamsville High School and Niagara University. He married Caroline A. Kibler on November 19, 1919.
After a move to Williamsville, New York, Beiter engaged in the general merchandising business from 1915 to 1929. He was a supervisor of the town of Amherst, New York, from 1930 to 1934.
Elected as a Democrat to the Seventy-third and the two succeeding Congresses, Beiter was U. S. Representative for the forty-first district of New York from March 4, 1933 to January 3, 1939; and was chairman of the Committee on War Claims during the Seventy-fifth Congress. An unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1938 to the Seventy-sixth Congress, he was assistant to the United States Secretary of the Interior in 1939 and 1940. He was then elected to the Seventy-seventh Congress and served from January 3, 1941 to January 3, 1943, but was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1942 to the Seventy-eighth Congress.
Beiter owned and operated a hatchery and feed business in Buffalo, New York, from 1944 to 1948, and was president of the National Customs Service Association from 1949 to 1961.
