Alice Parizeau, OC (née Alicja Poznańska; 25 July 1930 – 30 September 1990) was a Polish-Canadian writer, essayist, journalist and criminologist.

Though of Jewish background, and interned in Bergen Belsen during the Holocaust, Alice Poznanska's funeral was held at a Catholic church.

Parizeau's writing was known for its outstanding storytelling and sensitive treatment of themes relating both to the Quebec people, which she portrayed in romantic terms congruent with the sovereignty movement's ideals, and life in and exile from Poland.

Many members of the Quebec sovereignty movement, including the press, criticised her for accepting an honour from the Governor General of Canada.

In 1990, Parizeau died of cancer in Outremont, Quebec, leaving her husband, Jacques, and two children, Isabelle, a lawyer, and Bernard, a doctor.
