Alois Stoeckl (also referred to as Alois Stöckl; 22 August 1895– 14 August 1940) was an officer in the Luftwaffe during World War II. He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross of Nazi Germany.
Alois Stoeckl was killed on 14 August 1940 after the Heinkel He 111 that he was an observer in was attacked by British Spitfires from No. 609 Squadron RAF. He was shot down by British ace John Dundas DFC and his wingman.
