阿尔琴（，约）一作阿尔昆，是中世纪一位英格兰学者。生于英格兰诺森布里亚王国的约克。约782年应查理曼的邀请，赴加洛林王朝担任宫廷教师。对卡洛林文艺复兴有很大贡献。796年出任图尔的圣马丁修道院院长。

阿尔昆作为主教的秘使，在去往意大利的路上见到了查理曼。应查理曼的邀请，在亚琛的宫廷建立一所学校。History of church and theology, middle ages. (Prof. Dr Rob Faesen, Catholic university Leuven, 2015-2016 ) P13他发明了卡洛林小草书体，为现代罗马字体的前身。

阿爾昆有一首名為《塵與土》的拉丁文詩作，跑馬地天主教聖彌額爾墳場取其兩句譯為「今夕吾軀歸故土　他朝君體也相同」，掛於入口。
