Antoine-Alfred Marche (15 February 1844, Boulogne-Billancourt〔( E. Couratier ''Les rues de Boulogne-Billancourt'' (''The Streets of Boulogne-Billancourt''), 1962, Société historique de Boulogne-Billancourt, section "Avenue Jean-Batiste Cément", official site of Francis Choisel, head of the Boulogne-Billancourt Council )〕 – 31 August 1898, Paris, France) was a French naturalist and explorer. He visited Africa, the Philippines and finally the Mariana Islands. He made collections of various artifacts. He made a large collection of bird specimens from the Marianas between 22 April 1887 and May 1889 and some of them included new avian species (such as the golden white-eye, a bird described by Émile Oustalet).〔Bakker, Rollin H. (1951) The Avifauna of Micronesia, Its Origin, Evolution, and Distribution.

On the second expedition he was joined by Victor de Compiegne (1846–77) in which he explored the Ogooué River. On his third African trip, he accompanied Savorgnan de Brazza, and collected numerous zoological specimens. From 1880 onward, he devoted several years conducting naturalist studies in the Philippines, publishing "''Luçon et Palaouan, six années de voyages aux Philippines''" (1887) as a result. In 1887 he was awarded the ''Legion d'Honneur''. Later in his career, he worked as an archivist in Tunis.〔(Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Nantes ) biography〕〔(Brazza culture ) biographical information〕 == Taxa named after Alfred Marche == * Flame-breasted fruit dove, ''Ptilinopus marchei'' (Oustalet, 1880). * Golden white-eye, ''Cleptornis marchei'' (Oustalet, 1889). * Palawan hornbill, ''Anthracoceros marchei'' (Oustalet, 1885).〔 * Palawan stink badger, ''Mydaus marchei'' (Huet, 1887).〔(The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals ) by Bo Beolens, Michael Watkins, Michael Grayson〕 * ''Ivindomyrus marchei'' (Moelants, T. 2010).〔(Ivindomyrus marchei ) The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
