'''Social Alternative''' ({{langx|it|Alternativa Sociale}}) was a coalition of far-right political parties in Italy.
== History == The coalition grew from Social Action, which was founded by Benito Mussolini's granddaughter Alessandra Mussolini after she left the National Alliance<ref name="Mammone Godin Jenkins 2012 p. 289">{{cite book | last=Mammone | first=A. | last2=Godin | first2=E. | last3=Jenkins | first3=B. | title=Mapping the Extreme Right in Contemporary Europe: From Local to Transnational | publisher=Routledge | series=Extremism and Democracy Series | year=2012 | isbn=978-0-415-50264-1 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-fGaaj5ZJEgC&pg=PA289 | access-date=2024-02-04 | page=289}}</ref> due to their attempts to move away from the party's fascist past. The group was committed to a strong Italian nationalism that celebrated and glorified its past, and has been particularly critical of Gianfranco Fini's modernisation of the right.{{cn|date=September 2022}} The alliance was disbanded in late 2006 and replaced by a new pact between Social Action, New Force, the Social Idea Movement, and the {{ill|National Volunteers (Italy)|lt=National Volunteers|it|Volontari Nazionali}}.{{cn|date=September 2022}}

In the 2006 Italian general elections the coalition was a member of the defeated House of Freedoms and won no seats.
