Alphonse of Poitiers ( 11 November 1220 – 21 August 1271 ) was the Count of Poitou from 1225 and Count of Toulouse ( as Alfonso II ) from 1247.

Alphonse began the territorial expansion of the small Christian kingdom from its first seat in the Peaks of Europe, advancing toward the west to Galicia and toward the south with continuous incursions in the Duero valley, taking cities and towns and moving their inhabitants to the safer northern zones.
