Acfred I (died 906) was the Count of Razès from 837 and Count of Carcassonne from 877.

Acfred was the younger son of Oliba I of Carcassonne. He inherited Razès on his father's death, while his elder brother Oliba II inherited Carcassonne. Acfred and Oliba probably shared authority with each other in their two counties until the elder's death in 877, when Acfred inherited both counties, probably as the regent for his nephew Bencion I, but actually as count in his own right. Bencion nevertheless succeeded him on his death.

Acfred married Adelinda, daughter of Bernard Plantapilosa and sister of William I of Aquitaine. He had three sons:

    The information in this article is based on a source (citing earlier sources) that assumes Oliba II and Acfred succeeded Oliba I immediately after the death of Oliba I. Cawley does not make this assumption.

    He was definitely the brother of Oliba II. They were probably related to Oliba I, but could have been his sons, grandsons, or nephews.

    Cawley suggests that Oliba II was in his 30s when granted property in 870, since his sons were minors when he died in 879, suggesting that Acfred was also born around 830-840. The first document he cites that mentions the brothers is in 870.
