Ali Project (typeset as ALI PROJECT) is a Japanese rock band with a strong Japanese aristocrat-style image, consisting of Arika Takarano (宝野アリカ, Takarano Arika, vocals & lyrics) and Mikiya Katakura (片倉三起也, Katakura Mikiya, music & arrangement).

The band's work is divided into two styles, which lead singer/lyricist Arika Takarano has termed White Alice (白アリ, Shiro Ari) for the band's light, cheerful and/or refreshing songs, and Black Alice (黒アリ, Kuro Ari) for songs that take on a darker and more mysterious tone.^{[citation needed]}
