The Alpine A441 is a 2-liter (Sports 2000) Group 5 sports prototype racing car built by French company Alpine and co-developed by Renault to compete in the 1974 European 2 Liter Sports Car Championship. Designed by French engineer and racing driver André de Cortanze, the four A441s, entered as works cars and each driven by a French driver, won every race in the 1974 competition (at least one win by each driver), taking the Constructors' Championship, with driver Alain Serpaggi taking the Drivers' Championship.
