"All the Girls Love Alice" is a song by Elton John with lyrics written by Bernie Taupin from the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. The song concerns Alice, a melancholy, upper-class, 16-year-old student at a British public school. Having little romantic or sexual success with boys, she engages in lesbian liaisons. She becomes known for her sexual prowess and is in much demand, especially with older, married women.

Apart from Elton and the band, backing vocals were performed by Kiki Dee.

It features a classic guitar hook, and solid bass by Dee Murray.
