Alpha is the sixth studio album by the rock band Sevendust. The album was released on March 6, 2007.

Alpha is the band's second album featuring Sonny Mayo on rhythm guitar and the first with him as part of the writing process. Alpha is also the first album by the band to be released under the Warner-affiliated Asylum Records, making Sevendust the first metal/rock band on that label (the rest being hip-hop and rap artists). The tracks "Driven" and "Feed" were featured on the video game, WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008.

The album entered the U.S. Billboard 200 at number 14, selling about 42,000 copies in its first week.[4]

The song "Burn" is the band's longest song to date.
