Nabalco, (North Australian Bauxite and Alumina Company) was a mining and extraction company set up in 1964 to exploit the mineral reserves (bauxite) of the Gove Peninsula, Australia. It was renamed Alcan Gove Pty Ltd in 2002.

Nabalco was formed from a consortium including Switzerland based Alusuisse (70%) and Australia CSR.

The development was opposed by indigenous people which resulted in the case Milirrpum v Nabalco Pty Ltd (Gove land rights case), which resulted in a ruling against intrinsic native land rights in 1971.
