Alfred Hayes (1911–1985) was an American screenwriter, television writer, novelist, and poet who worked in both Italy and the United States. He was best known for the poem about Joe Hill, "I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night," which Earl Robinson set to music and which Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, and Paul Robeson performed. His novels included Girl on the via Flaminia, a wartime love story set in occupied Rome, and My Face for the World to See.
