Alfred Brown Osgood (July 16, 1843 - 1911) was an American Christian minister and legislator in Florida.[1]

He was born in Madison, Florida. He worked as a shoemaker and A.M.E. minister.

The Florida State Archives has a copy of his voter registration.[2]

The Republican Party had divisions between African American Floridians and northerners who relocated to the state seeking office, derisively termed carpetbaggers.[3]

A Republican he represented Madison and served in 1868 until 1874 and in 1879, 1883, and 1885.[4] He also served in the state senate in 1875 and 1877.[5]
