Alf Bjørnskau Bastiansen (18 November 1883 – 7 May 1965) was a Norwegian priest and politician for the Labour Party. Chairing the Norges Kristne Arbeideres Forbund from 1939 to 1948, he was among the co-founders and became an honorary member. He was elected mayor of Vadsø Municipality before being appointed as a vicar in Balsfjord Municipality, where he was also elected mayor. He continued his clergical career in Hvaler Municipality from 1919, Drammen Municipality from 1929 and Oslo from 1937. Except for a period of three years when he was deposed by the Quisling regime, he served as vicar in Kampen Church until 1953, and was also an Oslo city councilman.
