Alpha is a former populated place located in Eureka County, Nevada. At its peak in 1874 and 1875, it had a hotel and several saloons.{{Cite web|title=Alpha - Nevada Ghost Town|url=https://www.ghosttowns.com/states/nv/alpha.htm|access-date=2021-07-12|website=ghosttowns.com}}{{Cite book |last1=Hall |first1=Shawn R. |title=Romancing Nevada's past, ghost towns and historical sites of Eureka, Lander, and White Pine counties |date=1994|publisher=University of Nevada Press|isbn=0-87417-228-4|oclc=866696576}}

The town was served by the Eureka and Palisade Railroad, a defunct narrow gauge railroad. The town was abandoned shortly after the railroad was extended to Eureka, Nevada. All that remains today is rubble and the remains of cellars. A ranch at the site is visible in aerial imagery.
