Alice of Norfolk (c. 1324 – c. 30 January 1352) was an English noblewoman. She was the daughter of Thomas of Brotherton, and a granddaughter of Edward I. She married Edward Montagu, 1st Baron Montagu.
Alice of Norfolk, likely born about 1324, was the daughter of Thomas of Brotherton, eldest son of Edward I by his second marriage to Margaret (1279?–1318), the daughter of Philippe III of France (d.1285). Her mother was Alice de Hales (d. in or before 1330), daughter of Sir Roger de Hales of Hales Hall in Loddon in Roughton, Norfolk, by his wife, Alice. She had an elder brother, Edward of Norfolk, and an elder sister, Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk.
Alice's father died in August 1338. His only son, Edward of Norfolk, having predeceased him, Alice and her sister Margaret were their father's heirs. In March 1339 Edward III ordered William Trussell, escheator, to deliver to Alice and her husband, Edward Montagu, her share of her father's lands.
Alice's husband fought at the Battle of Crecy in 1346, and was summoned to Parliament from 20 November 1348 to 20 November 1360 by writs directed Edwardo de Monte Acuto, "whereby he is held to have become Lord Montagu".
Alice of Norfolk died at Bungay, Suffolk, shortly before 30 January 1352, as the result of an assault by her husband, for which crime he and some of his retainers were indicted. In 1361 one William Dunche of Bungay was pardoned for his part in her death, as well as other felonies.
