Lady Alice Fitzalan, Countess of Kent, Lady Holand, was a daughter of Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel, and the wife of Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent, the half-brother of King Richard II of England.

Lady Alice was born in 1350 at Arundel Castle in Sussex, England, the second eldest daughter of Richard Fitzalan, '"Copped Hat", 10th Earl of Arundel, and Eleanor of Lancaster.
