Alice Morse Earle (April 27, 1851 – February 16, 1911) was an American historian and writer from Worcester, Massachusetts.

She was christened Mary Alice by her parents Edwin Morse and Abby Mason Clary.

Her writings, beginning in 1890, focused on daily colonial life rather than grand events, and thus are invaluable for modern US social historians.

She was a passenger aboard the RMS Republic when, while in a dense fog, that ship collided with the SS Florida.

Her near drowning in 1909 off the coast of Nantucket during this abortive trip to Egypt weakened her health sufficiently that she died two years later, in Hempstead, Long Island.
