The A.L.F.A 15 HP is a medium size car produced by A.L.F.A., a company that later became Alfa Romeo, from 1911 to 1913.

The 15-HP engine had a compression ratio of 4.2:1 and developed a maximum output of 24 hp (18 kW) at 2,400 rpm. Bore and stroke were, respectively, 80 and 120 mm (3.1 and 4.7 in). It was a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive car. The 15 HP had a three-speed gearbox, and was equipped with a parking brake. The ground clearance was 1,300 mm (51.2 in). The 15 HP was available in two types of body: torpedo and saloon. The car had a top speed of 95 km/h (59 mph). It was designed by Giuseppe Merosi and was priced at 9,500 lire.
