The Alberta Alliance was a right-wing provincial political party in Alberta, Canada. Many of its members were supporters of the defunct Canadian Alliance federal political party and its predecessor, the Reform Party of Canada. Members also joined from similar provincial fringe parties like the Alberta First Party, the Alberta Party and Social Credit. Alliance supporters tended to view themselves as "true conservatives," and believed the Progressive Conservative governments of Premiers Ralph Klein and Ed Stelmach were out of touch with the needs of Albertans.

Paul Hinman was elected the party's leader at a leadership convention held on November 19, 2005.

On January 19, 2008, the party voted to change its name to the Wildrose Alliance Party when it absorbed the unregistered Wildrose Party of Alberta.
