麗絲‧華克（英語：Alice Walker，1944年2月9日－），是一位美國作家和社會活動家，曾任教於加州大學，致力介紹非洲作家，並長期關注民權、婦女運動。 1983年曾獲普立茲小說獎、美國國家圖書獎，代表作為《Colour Purple紫色姐妹花》，史蒂芬‧史匹柏曾將其改編為同名電影，由著名黑人女星琥碧‧戈珀主演。

華克的作品影響最深遠的便是代表作《ColourPurple紫色姐妹花》，書中揭露了種族、性別、階級對一位黑人女性的多重壓迫，描述了一名黑人女性從聽命到反抗、從麻木到覺醒，最終實現了自由解放與個性尊嚴的艱苦歷程。小說發表後，因內容對暴力、壓迫直白的描寫，受到極大的非議與責難，但卻無損於作品的內蘊與光輝。

愛麗絲‧華克Alice Walker與童妮‧摩里森Toni Morrison被並列為當代美國兩大黑人女性主義文學家。
