The Advanced Laboratory Physics Association (ALPhA) is an association of college and university faculty and staff dedicated to advanced experimental physics instruction. ALPhA works with other professional organizations, including the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), the American Physical Society (APS), and the Optical Society of America (OSA), to advance laboratory instruction.

ALPhA's efforts include annual Laboratory Immersions Programs to help advanced laboratory instructors learn new labs, organizing conferences on advanced laboratories, and ALPhA's relatively inexpensive Single Photon Detector Initiative.
