Alvin Laramie Wiederspahn, known as Al Wiederspahn (January 18, 1949 – October 24, 2014), was a prominent attorney in Cheyenne, Wyoming, who served for ten years as a Democrat in the Wyoming House of Representatives (1979–1984) and the Wyoming State Senate (1985–1988). He was the husband of Cynthia Lummis, a Republican politician who was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2008, after having served as state treasurer, and like her husband, as a member of both houses of the Wyoming legislature, having represented the capital city of Cheyenne.
Wiederspahn was born in Cheyenne to J. Arling Wiederspahn (1916–2007) and Edvina Wiederspahn (1921–2004). The senior Wiederspahn was originally from Grand Island, Nebraska, but he moved in 1936 to Cheyenne. Arling Wiederspahn, a pioneer mortician in Cheyenne, from 1956 to 1987 owned and operated the Wiederspahn Chapel of the Chimes funeral home. A Democrat, he served as the elected coroner of Laramie County from 1963 to 1979 and was from 1970 to 1985 a member of the Laramie County Community College board of trustees. Arling Wiederspahn served by appointment of Democratic Governor Edgar Herschler on the Wyoming Board of Embalming.
