Lac-Alfred is an unorganized territory in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada.

It is named after the small Lake Alfred (48°25′21″N 67°47′30″W / 48.42250°N 67.79167°W / 48.42250; -67.79167), located in the north-western part of the territory. The lake is also at the foot of Mont Saint-Pierre (48°25′08″N 67°45′59″W / 48.41889°N 67.76639°W / 48.41889; -67.76639), that reaches almost 900 metres (3,000 ft) high and is also known as Montagne du Radar (Radar Mountain) or Montagne de la Tour (Tower Mountain) because of an old fire tower or lookout that was built there.[4]

The territory is used extensively for logging.
