Prince Alfred College (also referred to as PAC, Princes, or in sporting circles, The Reds) is a private independent, day and boarding school for boys, located on Dequetteville Terrace, Kent Town – near the centre of Adelaide, South Australia. Prince Alfred College was established in 1869 by the Methodist Church of Australasia, which amalgamated with other Protestant churches in 1977 to form the Uniting Church in Australia.

The school has enrolment of some 1,100 students from reception and educational year groups one to twelve (ages 2 to 18), including some 140 boarders from years seven to twelve. Prince Alfred College launched its own kindergarten, Little Princes, in 1999, which was renamed Princes ELC in 2009. The college claims to have the largest "Old Scholars" organisation (by membership) in the southern hemisphere.

Senior students study to achieve the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), or undertake the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma programme as an alternative.

Prince Alfred College was named after Prince Alfred during his visit to Adelaide in 1867. Prince Alfred was one of the four sons of Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The school has attracted many royal visitors since its foundation, including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 1954.
