Alpine Skiing at the 1988 Winter Olympics consisted of ten alpine skiing events, held February 15-27 at Nakiska on Mount Allan, a new ski area west of Calgary.

These Olympics featured the first change in the alpine skiing program in more than 30 years. The Super-G was added and the combined event returned; it was last contested at the Winter Olympics in 1948, prior to the addition of the giant slalom.
