"Capo Nord" is the third studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Alice, released in 1980 on EMI Music.

The album includes Alice's Italian breakthrough single "Il Vento Caldo Dell'Estate", her first collaboration with composer and singer Franco Battiato.

After Alice won the Sanremo Music Festival in 1981 with "Per Elisa" "Capo Nord" was re-released in certain territories and then added the track as A5.

Alternate versions of both "Rumba Rock" (then retitled "Hispavox") and "Il Vento Caldo Dell'Estate" were included on the 1987 album "Elisir". "Il Vento Caldo Dell'Estate" was again re-recorded in 2000 and included on the career retrospective "Personal Jukebox".
