Alfons Spielhoff (July 3, 1912 — December 9, 1987) was a German politician, serving as minister of cultural affairs for Dortmund in the 1970s. Under the slogan "cultural policy is social policy", he was an advocate of redirecting cultural budgets away from the traditional fine arts based in the city center, towards community-based and popular art forms in decentralized venues. These proposals led to heated disputes over the city's cultural policy during his time in office.
