Alpha Lambda Zeta (ΑΛΖ) Fraternity, Inc. is a national, non-collegiate service fraternity for masculine-identified lesbians. It works to promote positive LGBTQ images through community service and political activism. The organization was founded on January 9, 2006, in Houston, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia, to provide mentorship, personal growth, and leadership opportunities. Membership is open to masculine-identified lesbians regardless of race or age. Alpha Lambda Zeta operates across more than ten states with about 23 chapters, including Nevada, California, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, and Arizona.

Its colors are wine, black, and pearl; its jewel is the opal; its plant is the spruce; and its mascot is the rearing black stallion. The motto is "Regal Women of Strength, Style and Versatility," and its publication is the Alpha Almanac. The fraternity supports several philanthropies, including the Alpha Outreach Foundation, Lambda Action Network, V.O.I.C.E., and youth empowerment. The headquarters are at P.O.
