Alfred Friedrich Delp SJ (German: [ˈalfʁeːt ˈdɛlp] ⓘ; 15 September 1907 – 2 February 1945) was a German Jesuit religious priest and philosopher of the German Resistance. A member of the inner Kreisau Circle resistance group, he is considered a significant figure in Catholic resistance to Nazism. Falsely implicated in the failed 1944 July Plot to overthrow Adolf Hitler, Delp was arrested and sentenced to death. He was executed in 1945.
