American labor union leader (born 1931)

Alfred LeRoy "Mike" Monroe (born November 25, 1931) is a former American labor union leader.

Born in Alexandria, Virginia, Monroe became a painter, and joined the International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades. He held positions in his local union, then in 1960 became the business representative for the district council. In 1964, he was appointed as a general representative for the union, serving until 1972, when he was elected as the union's general vice president.

Monroe was elected as secretary-treasurer of the union in 1984, and then in 1992 as general president. In 1995, he was additionally elected as a vice-president of the AFL-CIO. He retired in 1998, becoming general president emeritus of the union. He was succeeded as president by his son, Michael E. Monroe.
