Alalapadu is a Tiriyó village in the Sipaliwini District of Suriname.

[3] In 1961 the missionary Claude Leavitt accompanied by a group of Wai-Wai Amerindians convinced the chief of the village Panapipa to settle into a modern village.

[2] Between 1976 and 1977, Alalapadu was mostly abandoned in favor of the new settlement of Kwamalasamutu, as the soils surrounding the village became depleted.

[5] Alalapadu was never completely abandoned, however, and in 1999, some Tiriyó again permanently settled in the vicinity of the old village.

In 2017, a Brazil nut oil production facility opened in Alalapadu.
