Alvena (2016 population: ) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Fish Creek No. 402 and Census Division No. 15. It is approximately northeast of Saskatoon.
== History == Many early settlers to Alvena were of Ukrainian descent. Many were peasant farmers in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Others were from Poland and they erected Roman Catholic Churches in the area. Earlier settlers along the South Saskatchewan River were Métis. Many of these families were involved in the April 24, 1885 Battle of Fish Creek which occurred in Tourond's Coulee, a few miles west of what later became Alvena. Alvena incorporated as a village on July 1, 1936.
