O alce irlandés (Megaloceros giganteus)^[1]^[2] ou cervo xigante irlandés, é unha especie extinta do xénero Megaloceros e un dos meirandes cervos que xamais existiron. A súa distribución abranguía toda Eurasia durante o Plistoceno, dende Irlanda até Siberia e a China. Unha forma relacionada da especie foi atopada na China, onde viviu no Plistoceno tardío.^[3] Os restos máis recentes desta especie foron datados hai 7 700 anos en Siberia.^[4] Malia que moitos dos esqueletos foron atopados en pantanos de Irlanda, o animal non era exclusivo de Irlanda e non estaba relacionado cos actuais alces ou uapitís. Por esta razón, o nome "cervo xigante" é empregado nalgunhas publicacións no canto de "alce irlandés".^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9] Un estudo suxeriu que o cervo xigante podería estar relacionado co cervo común (Cervus elaphus).^[10] Porén, outras análises filoxenéticas sosteñen a idea dunha relación máis achegada co gamo (Dama dama).^[8]^[11]^[12]
