Alice Bache Gould (January 5, 1868–July 25, 1953) was an American historian and mathematician.

Early life and education
Gould was born into the Quincy political family on January 5, 1868 to Benjamin Apthorp Gould and Mary Apthorp Quincy. She moved to Argentina in 1870 when her father, an astronomer, was invited to open an observatory in Argentina. Her early education was split between the United States and Argentina, where she studied Spanish and Hispanic culture and history; her secondary education was split between the United States and United Kingdom. In 1885 she began studying mathematics at the Society for the Collegiate Instruction of Women, transferring to Bryn Mawr College a year later and graduating in 1889 with a BA in mathematics and physics.

From 1890 to 1893, Gould studied at Newnham College, Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
