Шаблон:Short description Jean-Pierre Alphonse Munchen (3 September 1850 – 25 January 1917) was a Luxembourgish engineer and politician. He served as the Mayor of Luxembourg City between 24 July 1904 and 14 February 1915.

Munchen was born into one of Luxembourg's best-established families[1] in Diekirch on 3 September 1850. He studied at University of Liège, after which he became an industrial engineer, working in both Belgium and Luxembourg in the burgeoning local steel industry.[2] Munchen was involved in the foundation of the steel mill at Rodange, and in the development of the Prince Henri Railway.[2] After this, he spent many years working in the Russian Empire, particularly the Urals and Siberia, where he helped to develop the areas' first steel infrastructure.[2]

In 1892, he entered Luxembourg City's communal council, in which he served until 1904, when he became the city's mayor.[2] He also represented the city in the national legislature, the Chamber of Deputies.[2]

There is a street in Merl, Luxembourg City, named after Munchen (Rue Alphonse Munchen).
