The African Leadership Centre (ALC) is a research and academic institution focused on leadership development, peacebuilding, and security studies in Africa. It operates as a partnership between King's College London and the University of Nairobi. The Centre was officially launched on 24 June 2010 in Nairobi, Kenya, as part of an initiative to mentor the next generation of African leaders, scholars and practitioners.

The ALC was founded by Professor Funmi Olonisakin of King’s College London, who also served as its first director. The Centre has offices in London and Nairobi and works to advance African-led approaches to peace, security, and leadership.
