Lac-Alfred (French pronunciation: [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^{[note 1]} in the northwestern part of the territory. The lake rests at the foot of Mont Saint-Pierre, which reaches 906 metres (2,972 ft)^[4]^{[note 2]} 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.^[5]

The territory is used extensively for logging.
