'''알파카로틴'''(α-Carotene)은 [[카로틴]]의 일종으로 두 번째로 일반적인 형태이다. 알파카로틴은 한쪽 끝은  베타 이오논 고리이고, 다른 쪽 끝은 알파 이오논 고리로 구성된다.

== 인간 생리학 ==
미국과 중국 성인의 경우 혈청 알파카로틴의 평균 농도는 4.71μg/dL이다. 남성은 4.22μg/dL, 여성은 5.31μg/dL 정도이다.<ref name="Li2010">{{저널 인용|제목=Serum α-carotene concentrations and risk of death among US Adults: the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Follow-up Study|저널=Arch.
