Walter Eugene Muehlbronner (born Walter Eugen Mühlbronner;[2] 10 February 1922 – 17 November 2005)[3] was a German-American figure skater. He became a U.S. citizen in 1946.[4] He competed in pairs and ice dance with Irene Maguire, whom he married in 1951. They won national silver medals in both pairs and ice dance in 1949 and 1950.[5] The two continued skating as professionals, billed as "Walter and Irene" for 7 years, in the Ice Follies.[3][6]

In later years, he settled in Philadelphia, working first as a figure skating teacher, then as a skating club manager. He was president of the Professional Skaters Association for a few years in the early 1970s, and retired from skating in 1990.[3]
