The TA Alphatronic PC is a compact 8-bit computer, from the German manufacturer Triumph-Adler in 1984.

The Alphatronic had a PC CPU, the Zilog Z80, which is compatible to the Intel 8085, but possessed some extensions; a keyboard with separate number pad and six function keys were integrated into the case. With a price of DM 1495, it was competitive and finished among the top five of German sales statistics. It was used mainly as a small office computer because it had no pixel graphics, but only a block graph.
