Alfred Landé (Elberfeld, December 13, 1888 - Columbus, October 30, 1976) was a German-American physicist. Known for his contribution to quantum mechanics, he introduced the Landé factor and provided an explanation of the anomalous Zeeman effect.

The eldest son of a couple of social democratic politicians of Jewish origin, in 1908 Landé began his university studies in mathematics and physics. In 1913 Arnold Sommerfeld, with whom he was preparing his doctoral thesis, the lawyer at the University of Göttingen, assigning him the job of special assistant to David Hilbert. Here he met Max Nato as well as other problems including Paul Bernays, Niels Bohr, Richard Courant, Felix Klein, Edmund Landau, Hendrik Lorentz and Ludwig Prandtl. In 1914, two weeks before the outbreak of World War I, he obtained his doctorate at the University of Munich by discussing the thesis On the method of strategies in quantum theory. In 1922, under the impetus of Paschen, Landé became an extraordinary professor of theoretical physics at the University of Tübingen. In 1923 he enunciated the Landé interval rule, which states that the spin-orbit interactions of an electron are weak, while the energy differences between two successive levels J are proportional to the greater value. In the mid-1920s he undertook a series of investigations on the quantization of electromagnetic radiation, focusing on the spontaneous and induced emission.
Alfred Landè, given an explanation for the anomalous user Zeeman, wrote a letter to former assistant Arnold Sommerfield, who states: "His new representation fits well with what one of my students (of the first semester) discovered, but it has not been published ”.
