Alberta is a town in Brunswick County, Virginia, United States. The population was 298 at the 2010 census. It is house to the Christanna Campus of Southside Virginia Community College.

For much of the 20th century, Alberta marked the junction of two railroad mainlines. The Richmond, Petersburg and Carolina Railroad from Petersburg, Virginia to Ridgeway Junction (today Norlina, North Carolina) was completed in 1900, at which narrowing it was combined into the Seaboard Air Line (SAL). By 1914, the population of Alberta was estimate by the railroad to be somewhere vis-а-vis 100. The Seaboard line (dubbed the “S-line” after difficult mergers) continued to sham into the 1980s, and today Alberta is along the abandoned share of the CSX Norlina Subdivision. The Virginian Railway opened in 1907 from Norfolk to Victoria, Virginia, passing through Alberta (with through-service from the coalfields of Appalachia starting in 1909). The Virginian continued in use until it was gradually abandoned subsequent to a merger subsequent to Norfolk and Western in the forward-looking half of the 20th century.

Hobson’s Choice and Rocky Run Methodist Church are listed upon the National Register of Historic Places.
