'''Alfred-Felix Vaucher''' (March 18, 1887 – May 22, 1993) was an Italian theologian, church historian, and bibliographer. He was a pioneer in the history and study of [[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventism]].

Preaching his first sermon at age 14, Vaucher studied at a church in Paris. In 1903, he was engaged by the Adventist church, to which he devoted an active ministry of approximately eighty years.

Vaucher traveled around [[Europe]], including [[Switzerland]] and [[Italy]] as a [[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventist]] evangelist. He published over 1,100 articles and pamphlets on French church history and wrote a score of books, some of which are: ''L'Histoire du Salut,'' ''Le P. [[Manuel Lacunza]] y Diaz,'' ''L'Antichrist'', ''Le Jour du Repos'', and ''Le Jour Seigneurial''. Vaucher also taught at [[Adventist University of France|Salève Adventist University]], [[Collonges-sous-Salève]], [[Haute-Savoie]], a French biblical college, from 1921 to 1941 and 1945–1983.

He died at age 106.
