The Alistro (French pronunciation: [alistʁo]; Corsican: Alistru) is a small coastal river in the department of Haute-Corse, Corsica, France.

[3] The Torra d'Alistru, a Genoese tower built in the second half of the 16th century, guarded the mouth of the Alistro from attacks by Barbary pirates.

The coast is undeveloped to the north of the Alistro, while to the south it is more urbanized, with vacation villages and marinas.
