Alice Nordin (4 May 1871 – 26 May 1948) was a Swedish sculptor.

After leaving the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, Nordin studied in Paris before traveling around Europe. Stories of her travels were published in Idun magazine.[2]

In 1911, Nordin became the first female sculptor to have an exhibition at Konstnärshuset.[2] In 1926, she received the Swedish Royal medal Litteris et Artibus. Her work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.[3]
