Sabellaria alcocki [2] [3] [4] is a species of bristle worm described by Charles Joseph Gravier in 1906 [5] and named in honour of Alfred William Alcock.

Sabellaria spinulosa and S. alcocki are smaller than S. alveolata and inhabit the subtidal and lower intertidal/sublittoral fringes. Sabellaria spinulosa has been described from the North Sea (Leuckart 1849) and S. alcocki from the Indian Ocean (Gravier 1906). [6]

Sabellaria alcocki is included in the genus Sabellaria and family Sabellariidae. [2] [7] No subspecies are listed in Catalogue of Life. [2]
