Ulrich Walser and Anton Walser were American builders. They were two of six Walser brothers who immigrated to the United States from Haldenstein, Gaubuenden, Switzerland.

One or both of them built most of the frame houses in Alma, Wisconsin that have Queen Anne style elements.

A number of their works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

In a double ceremony, Anton and Ulrich were married in 1889, in a church that they had just built.
