Socialist Alternative Future (Czech: Socialistická alternativa Budoucnost, SAB) is a Trotskyist political party in the Czech Republic, founded in 1990 by students active in the events of the Velvet Revolution. It affiliated to the Committee for a Workers' International in 1994.

The party is an activist organisation involved in initiatives such as fare boycott rides on public transport in protest at prices and the No Bases (Ne základnám) campaign against the establishment of a US military base in the Czech Republic, centred on a radar installation.

SAB has worked to combat racism against Romani people and directed efforts at winning support for socialist ideas amongst Romanis. The party holds the position that capitalism must be removed in order to overcome the social and economic factors underpinning racism and the problematic coexistence of Romanis and the majority.
