Alfred Eder (born 28 December 1953) is an Austrian former biathlete.
Eder was born in Piesendorf, and has been a soldier and thus competed as a member of the Heeressportverein (army sports club) Saalfelden. He competed in six Winter Olympics, and jointly holds the Austrian record for most Winter Olympic appearances along with Mario Stecher and Markus Prock.[1] He is the father of biathlete Simon Eder and was a coach of the Austrian biathlon team.[2] He received a life ban from the Austrian Olympic Committee in 2007 as one of 14 team officials who were implicated in doping activity at the 2006 Winter Olympics.[3] The bans on Eder and 11 others were subsequently rescinded in 2009, after the Fédération Internationale de Ski dropped doping charges against Eder, biathlon director for the Austrian ski federation Markus Gandler and cross-country ski coach Gerald Heigl.[4]
Eder was appointed as Klaus Siebert's replacement as coach of the Belarusian biathlon squad ahead of the 2014–15 season.[5]
