Lac-Alfred 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[3] in the northwestern part of the territory. The lake rests at the foot of Mont Saint-Pierre, which reaches [4] [5] 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.[6]

The territory is used extensively for logging.
