Antoine-Alfred Marche (15 February 1844, Boulogne-Billancourt[1] – 31 August 1898, Paris, France) was a French naturalist and explorer. He visited Africa, the Philippines and finally the Mariana Islands. He made collections of various artifacts. He made a large collection of bird specimens from the Marianas between 22 April 1887 and May 1889 and some of them included new avian species (such as the golden white-eye, a bird described by Émile Oustalet).[2]
In 1887, Marche was awarded the Legion d'Honneur. In his later years, he worked as an archivist in Tunis.[3][4]
