Alfie is a soundtrack album to the film of the same name, released in 2004. It was largely produced, performed and written by Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart, with vocal contributions from Joss Stone, Sheryl Crow and Nadirah "Nadz" Seid. A then-unknown Katy Perry provides backing vocals on two of the tracks.

The original 1966 film for which this was a remake, also had a soundtrack album by Sonny Rollins. The Burt Bacharach-Hal David song "Alfie" which played over the end credits of both films, did not feature in the Rollins soundtrack, but it appears here. Cher re-recorded the song for the closing credits of the remake, but it was dropped in favour of a version by Stone.

For the song "Old Habits Die Hard", Jagger and Stewart won the BFCA Award, Golden Globe, Sierra Award and the World Soundtrack Award. The track "New York Hustle" is the losing song for the New York Rangers and the New York Knicks for home games.
