《艾爾弗雷德傳》[注 1](拉丁語:De rebus gestis Alfredi/Vita Ælfredi regis Angul Saxonum/Ælfredi Regis res Gestæ;英語:The Life of King Alfred/Life of Alfred, King of the Anglo-Saxons)是一本英國古代史書,作者为阿塞爾(又譯阿塞、阿瑟、阿色耳),是威塞克斯(又譯西撒克遜)艾爾弗雷德大王(又譯阿爾弗雷德大王)時期的僧侶及學者,曾侍奉艾爾弗雷德學習。阿塞爾在893年以拉丁文編寫本書,全書篇幅有106章,內容記載艾爾弗雷德的生平、威塞克斯國情、對維京人的征戰等事跡。本書是首部有關盎格魯-撒克遜君王的傳記,書中包含了不少艾爾弗雷德時代的珍貴史料,但在後世曾被懷疑是偽書,故此史家對它既重視,又對其內容審慎使用。
