Alice Howard, 1st Countess of Wicklow (died 7 March 1807), née Alice Forward, was an Anglo-Irish peeress.
She was the daughter and heiress of William Forward of Castle Forward, County Donegal, by his wife Isabella Stewart.[1] On 11 August 1755 she married the politician Ralph Howard, who was later created Baron Clonmore and Viscount Wicklow. Her husband died in 1789.
On 5 December 1793 she was created suo jure Countess of Wicklow in the Peerage of Ireland, with remainder to the heirs male of her body.[2] Upon her death in 1807 she was succeeded by her eldest son, Robert Howard, who had already succeeded to his father's titles.
