Alfonso Adán Pozo (12 April 1972 – 31 December 2024) was a Spanish politician from the PSOE who served as mayor of Binéfar from June 2015 to June 2023. Although he was born in Madrid, he spent most of his life in Binéfar. He had been a town councillor since 2007 before becoming mayor. In 2023, Patricia Rivera became the first woman to be elected mayor of Binéfar.

Adán also worked with regional and national associations, including the Aragonese Federation of Municipalities, Counties, and Provinces, and the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, focusing on urbanism and housing from 2016 to 2019. He announced in November 2022 that he would seek re-election as mayor. After losing the 2023 municipal elections, he stepped down as secretary-general of the PSOE in Binéfar on 8 November 2023.

He died in Binéfar on 31 December 2024, aged 52. The town declared an official day of mourning, and a funeral chapel was set up in the Town Hall with his family’s agreement.
