The Alliance Francaise of Port Harcourt (French: l'Alliance Française de Port Harcourt) is a Nigerian non-profit institution in Port Harcourt, Rivers State devoted to training and educating people residing within or around the city in French language and culture. It commenced operations in 1983, and has served over 18,000 students since its establishment. Supported by the Government of Rivers State, the institution is affiliated with the worldwide network of over 800 Alliances.[1][2]

The premises comprise a library, seven classrooms, including four with interactive whiteboards, a learning resource centre, restaurant, a terrace and an open-air auditorium that has a total capacity of two hundred. The Alliance is run by a director, one deputy director (director of studies), twenty-four French language teachers, and eight administrative staff.[3]
