Louis Anfenger (1842-1900), was a Denver, Colorado Politician, Philanthropist, and Businessman.

He was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 1895 and 1900. He was not just your average businessman, and was well known in the Denver community as a productive and generous man as he helped co-found National Jewish Hospital, Temple Emanuel, B'nai B'rith, and operated a successful real estate and insurance firm. After 30 years in Denver, Louis died on December 7th 1900, leaving Louise a widow.
