The Alvak Spring (Teutonic: Alvakischer Frühling), also known in Thalassian and Aravan circles as the Spring of 1980 (Thalassian: Άνοιξη του 1980) (Aravan: ربيع 1980), was a nationwide pro-democracy movement in Alva that generated mass protests from October 2, 1977 to June 29, 1987. The demonstrations forced the ruling government to hold elections and institute other democratic reforms which led to the establishment of the present-day government of Alva.

On October 2, 1977, the military regime of President Niklas Dimellis-Funke announced its choice of Paulus von Anderle, Home Minister at the time of the announcement as well as a close confidant of Dimellis-Funke, as the next president. The public designation of Dimellis-Funke's successor was seen as a final affront to a delayed and deferred process to revise the Alvak constitution to permit the direct election of the President and Chancellor. Although pressure on the regime, in the form of demonstrations by students and other groups, had been building for some time, the announcement finally triggered massive and effective protests.

Unwilling to resort to violence due to the international audience the widespread protests had managed to acquire, and (correctly) believing that von Anderle could win competitive elections anyway given divisions within the opposition, Dimellis-Funke and von Anderle acceded to the key demands of direct presidential elections and restoration of civil liberties. Although von Anderle was duly elected as president alongside Joachim Hämmerli as Chancellor that December with a comfortable majority, the democratic consolidation of Alva was fully underway.
