Alvin (DSV-2) is a manned submersible, built by Litton Systems and commissioned in 1964 for the U.S. Navy. It is owned by the U.S. Navy, and currently operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.

It is tended by and launched from the R/V Atlantis(AOGR-25), which was acquired by the Navy and is under lease to Woods Hole for Alvin's operations.

Alvin was named for its chief inspiration and creative developer, oceanographer Allyn Vine.
