Alpine is a town in Lincoln County, Wyoming, United States. The population was 828 at the 2010 census.
Alpine is located at the southern end of the Snake River Canyon where the Snake River enters Palisades Reservoir. The town is also known as Alpine Junction since it marks the point where US Route 89 and US Route 26 turn in opposite directions.
