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.
