Alins is a town and municipality in Pallars Sobirà county in Catalonia. It borders Occitania in France and La Massana in Andorra. In 2022, it had a population of 285.^[3]

It covers the valleys of the Noguera de Vallferrera [ca] and Tor rivers in the north of the county. The Pica d'Estats (3142 m, the highest point in Catalonia) is part of the Montcalm Massif on the frontier between this municipality and Ariège, France. A local road links the municipality with the L-504 road.

The municipality of Alins is formed of seven villages. Those marked with an asterisk are "delocalised municipal entities" (entitats municipals descentralitzades) and have their own local councils with limited powers.^[1] Populations are given as of 2005:
