阿尔伯塔龙亚科（学名：Albertosaurinae）是生活在晚白垩世时期的恐龙，分布于今美国和加拿大境内。该亚科名称最早由菲利普·J·柯里（Philip J. Currie）、约恩·H·胡鲁姆（Jørn H. Hurum）和卡罗尔·萨巴斯（Karol Sabath）提出，用以指代暴龙科的一支。其最初的界定为“（亞伯達龍屬 + 蛇髮女怪龍屬）”，因此仅包含这两个属。该类群与暴龙亚科互为姐妹群。

2007年的研究认为，该亚科还包括Maleevosaurus，这一属常被视为特暴龍屬（Tarbosaurus）的同物异名。然而，这一分类并未得到普遍认可，Maleevosaurus目前仍被认为是特暴龍或暴龙（Tyrannosaurus）的未成年个体。
