María del Pilar Alegría Continente (pronounced [piˈlaɾ aleˈɣɾi.a]; born 1 November 1977) is a Spanish Socialist Workers' Party politician who served as minister of Education from July 2021 to December 2025, and as Spokesperson of the Government from November 2023 to December 2025.

Alegría was a deputy in the Congress of Deputies from 2008 to 2015, then Minister of Innovation, Research and Universities of Aragon in the Government of Aragon from 2015 to 2019. She was the PSOE candidate for mayor in the 2019 Zaragoza municipal election, in which her party won the plurality of votes, but other parties elected Jorge Azcón as mayor. In February 2020, she was named Government Delegate to Aragon.

In 2025, Alegría was proclaimed secretary-general of the PSOE in Aragon, and left her government roles in order to contest the 2026 Aragonese regional election.
