Sir Archibald Alison, 1st Baronet (1792 - 1867) was an England-born Scottish advocate (attorney) and historian.
When travelling in France in 1814 he conceived the idea of his expansive History of Europe from the commencement of the French revolution to the restoration of the Bourbons. This multi-volume set is usually regarded as Alison's chief historical work and is considered to be the first scholarly English-language study of the French Revolution.
