Alice Burrows (died 1819) was an English silversmith.

Burrows was the widow of silversmith George Burrows I, a smallworker, and worked in partnership with her son, George Burrows II. Classed as a plateworker, she registered her first mark, in two sizes, on 10 July 1801. Further marks followed on 7 November 1804, 21 February 1810 and 6 May 1818. Active in London, her address was given as 14 Red Lion Street, Clerkenwell.[1] Her date of death has been given as 1819 in various sources.[2][3]

The National Museum of Women in the Arts owns several pieces by Alice and George Burrows, including a George III snuff box of 1802, a George III teapot of 1803, and a Regency teapot of 1816.[1]
