Alva was a French range of cars made by Automobiles Alva, in Courbevoie, Seine, from 1913 to 1923.

Some of the line-up of cars had 4-cylinder engines made by SCAP, while others had engines ranging from 1.5 to 2.2-litre capacity. They were conventional in design, aside from the Perrot 4-wheel brakes introduced in 1921, and some models that had an overhead camshaft engine.
