Lac-Alfred ({{IPA|fr|lak alfʁɛd}}) is an unorganized territory in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada.

Situated in the Matapédia Valley, it is named after the small Lake Alfred{{coord|48|25|21|N|67|47|30|W|display=inline|region:CA-QC_source:CTQ}} in the northwestern part of the territory. The lake rests at the foot of Mont Saint-Pierre, which reaches {{convert|906|m}}{{cite web|title=Mont Saint-Pierre|url=http://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=12369|publisher=Peakbagger|accessdate=9 July 2014}}{{coord|48|25|08|N|67|45|59|W|display=inline|region:CA-QC_source:CTQ}} and is also known as Montagne du Radar (Radar Mountain) or Montagne de la Tour (Tower Mountain) due to an old fire tower or lookout that was built upon it.{{cite web |url=http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/ToposWeb/fiche.aspx?no_seq=57486 |title=Mont Saint-Pierre |publisher=Commission de toponymie du Québec |accessdate=2012-01-30 |language=French}}
