AlphaBat (Korean: 알파벳; stylized as AlphaBAT) is a South Korean hiphop boy band formed by Simtong Entertainment in 2013. They are currently under APB Entertainment.^[1]

AlphaBAT originally debuted in 2012 as a duo (Kyumin & Selin) under the agency YUB Entertainment. After leaving the agency, Kyumin left the group.

Although their first performance for AB City was on November 12, 2013, when they recorded the music program Arirang: Simply Kpop, Simtong Entertainment's preferred official debut date for AlphaBAT was on November 14, 2013, the day AlphaBAT took their performance in M!
