Alford is a settlement in South Australia. Alford is in the Hundred of Tickera, northern Yorke Peninsula, about midway between the towns of Kadina and Port Broughton. The natural landform is undulating fertile plains, which often feature limestone and dunes. Founded on the agricultural industry, which surrounds the township, most of the original mallee scrub vegetation has been cleared for highly productive broad-acre wheat and barley farming, plus grazing and mixed farming.

Alford is on the Spencer Highway (South Australia route B89), just north of where the named highway diverges towards the coast at Wallaroo and the numbered route continues through Kadina, merging again outside of Moonta. The highway continues north through Port Broughton to Port Pirie.
