Infante Alfonso, Duke of Calabria (30 November 1901- 3 February 1964), was one of two claimants to the title of the head of House of Bourbon Two Sicilies from 1960 till his death. He was the son of Carlos, Prince of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (1870-1949) and Mercedes, Princess of Asturias (1880-1904).
Alfonso's mother was Princess of Asturias, but she died in childbirth in 1904. King Alfonso XIII of Spain was unmarried at the time so as the Princess of the Asturias' eldest son, Alfonso became Prince of the Asturias until the birth of his cousin, Alfonso, to Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenie.
He married Princess Alice of Bourbon-Parma (1917-), daughter of Elias, Duke of Parma. They had three children:
- Princess Teresa of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (Born 6 February 1937)
- Infante Carlos, Duke of Calabria (Born 16 January 1938)
- Princess Inés Maria of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (Born 18 February 1940)
