Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster O.S.B. (Italian pronunciation: [alˈfreːdo ildeˈfɔnso ʃˈʃuster],[1][2] German: [ˈʃuːstɐ]; born Alfredo Ludovico Schuster; 18 January 1880 – 30 August 1954) was an Italian Catholic prelate and professed member from the Benedictines who served as the Archbishop of Milan from 1929 until his death. He became known as Ildefonso as a Benedictine monk and served as an abbot prior to his elevation to the cardinalate.[3]

He led the Milanese archdiocese during World War II and was known to have supported fascism at first. His views changed to opposition after the annexation of Austria and the introduction of Italian racial laws, which prompted vocal criticisms of anti-Christian aspects of Benito Mussolini's regime.[4]

Schuster's beatification was celebrated in mid-1996 in Saint Peter's Square.[3]
