Alice (also known as Per Elisa) is the fourth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Alice, released in 1981 on EMI Music.

The album includes Alice's winning entry in the 1981 Sanremo Music Festival, "Per Elisa", and the Alice album was released under that title in certain territories, then also with alternative cover art. The track "Una notte speciale" was released as the follow-up single to "Per Elisa".

An alternate version of "Una notte speciale" appears on the 1987 album Elisir. A re-recorded version of "Per Elisa" was included in the 2000 career retrospective Personal Jukebox.
