The A.L.F.A 40/60 HP was a race and road car made by Italian car manufacturer A.L.F.A (later called Alfa Romeo). This model was made between 1913 and 1922 and was designed by Giuseppe Merosi, just like all other Alfas at that time. The 40/60 HP has a 6082 cc straight-4 engine with overhead valves, which produced 70 bhp and its top speed was Auto kmh|125. The race model 40-60 HP Corsa had a 73 bhp and a top speed of Auto kmh|137, and also won its own category in the Parma-Berceto race.

In 1914 Marco Ricotti from Carrozzeria Castagna designed the A.L.F.A. 40/60 HP Aerodinamica prototype model which could reach Auto kmh|139 top speed.

40/60 HP production and development was interrupted by the First World War, but resumed briefly afterwards. 40-60 HP Corsa had now 82 bhp and a top speed of around Auto kmh|150. Giuseppe Campari won the 1920 and 1921 races at Mugello with this car.
