The Alamo Placita neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, United States, is bounded by Downing Street (east), Speer Boulevard (south), Pennsylvania Street (west), 6th Avenue (north) west of Clarkson Street and 7th Avenue (north) east of Clarkson Street. The neighborhood is named after Alamo Placita Park which is located on the north side of Speer Boulevard between Ogden and Emerson Streets.

The area was developed primarily between 1889 and 1942 and consists mostly of single family homes built in the following architectural styles: Queen Anne (1889-1908), Foursquare (1891-1916), Cottage (1900-1912), Arts and Crafts (1904-1929), Dutch Colonial Revival (1892-1905), Mission Revival (1922-1932), and Tudor (1930-1936).

Alamo Placita Park was designed by landscape architect Saco Reink DeBoer. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The Cherry Creek News is Alamo Placita's neighborhood newspaper.

The Alamo Placita Historic District was created by the Denver Landmark Preservation Commission in 2000, recognizing both the architectural integrity of the area as well as its contributions to the history of Denver.
