Alfons Julen (20 February 1899 – 9 May 1988) was a cross country skier from Zermatt, Switzerland who competed in military patrol at the first winter Olympics in Chamonix in 1924. The Swiss team, which consisted of Alfred Aufdenblatten, Julen, Anton Julen and Denis Vaucher, finished first in the competition.[1]

Julen competed in cross country 18 km at the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, and in military patrol, which was a demonstration event in 1928.[1] He was brother of Anton Julen, and cousin of the Olympians Oswald Julen (Nordic combined) and Simon Julen (cross country skiing).
