Alberton is a rural locality in the local government area (LGA) of Dorset in the North-east LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about south-east of the town of Scottsdale. The 2021 census recorded a population of 14 for Alberton churr.
Alberton was gazetted as a locality in 1976. It is believed to have been named after Prince Albert, who visited Tasmania in the 1860s.[1]
