Alise is the third album by Latvian band Dzeltenie Pastnieki, released through magnitizdat in 1984, and 'officially' as late as 2004.

The album was based on the music the band recorded for an amateur stage adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, directed by Andris Zeibots. All the lyrics are from the two books, as translated by Dagnija Dreika-Matule and Zeibots.

Album closer "Gaisa balona dzinēja" is an instrumental version of the 1980 Raimonds Pauls/Vizma Belševica song "Kamolā tinēja", which was originally performed by Imants Skrastiņš.

Outtakes from this album's sessions later appeared on Vienmēr klusi ("Alise un runcis"), Depresīvā pilsēta ("Brīnišķā zupa") and the compilation album Sliekutēva vaļasprieks ("Hercogienes dziesma (instrumental)" and studio chatter titled "Cik zaļas acis zutim"). A short instrumental reprise of "Vakara zupa" was included on the band's 2003 comeback album Kaķis.

The artwork by Toms Vītiņš bears resemblance to the Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark album Universal.
