Alphonse Laverrière (16 May 1872 – 11 March 1954) was a Swiss architect.

He studied at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Genève and later at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts and was professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.[1]

In 1912, he won a gold medal in architecture with Eugène-Edouard Monod in the art competitions of the Olympic Games for their "Building Plan of a Modern Stadium".[2]

Between 1922 and 1951, Laverrière designed the Bois-de-Vaux Cemetery at Lausanne and is buried there.[3]
