The Alice River is a river on the Cape York Peninsula of Far North Queensland, Australia.

The headwaters of the river rise in the Great Dividing Range and flow westward down the valleys and across Aerodrome Plain where they turn south west forming braided channels. The river then turns northwest and continues forming the northern border of Mitchell-Alice Rivers National Park before discharging into Mitchell River of which it is a tributary.[1]

The drainage sub-basin of the river occupies an area of 12,943 square kilometres (4,997 sq mi),[2] part of the much larger Mitchell River catchment that has a total area of 71,670 square kilometres (27,672 sq mi),[3]
