Alice Montacute (1407 – before 9 December 1462) was an English noblewoman and the suo jure 5th Countess of Salisbury, 6th Baroness Monthermer, and 7th and 4th Baroness Montagu, having succeeded to the titles in 1428.

Her husband, Richard Neville, became 5th Earl of Salisbury by right of his marriage to Alice.

She was attained for high treason by the Parliament of Devils in November 1459.[1] She escaped to Ireland and came back to England with her son the Earl of Warwick in the spring of 1460.
