Alskog is a settlement on the Swedish island of Gotland. Formerly a socken, on 1 January 2016, it was reconstituted into the administrative area Alskog District.

The Gålerum grave field in Alskog has over 200 stone settings, dating from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. The grave field includes eight stone ships, five cairns and a picture stone. The area is sometimes erroneously referred to as Digerrojr, a cairn in Garde, south of Alskog.

Alskog is situated in the central east part of Gotland. The medieval Alskog Church is located in the socken.

The three Lau Islets just off the coast are part of Alskog, despite being named after the neighboring Lau socken. On the north part of the Alskog coastline is the sheltered harbor of Svajde fishing village.
