'''Alp Ilutuer''' was the [[Ilutuer]] (vassal ruler) of the [[North Caucasian Huns]] during the 680's CE.<br />
<br />
He is mentioned in the account of [[Israel (Bishop of Caucasian Albania)|Bishop Israel]] of [[Caucasian Albania]], who travelled to Alp Ilutuer's court in an unsuccessful attempt to convert him and his people to [[Christianity]].<br />
''Alp'' is an [[Old Turkic language|Old Turkic]] word meaning "hero", though it also sometimes was used as a personal name. ''Ilutuer'' is believed to be a [[cognate]] of the ancient [[Turkic languages|Turkic]] title for a vassal ruler (in this case, vassal to the [[Khazars]]). Therefore, it is unclear whether Alp Ilutuer is a proper name, a title, or a combination of the two.<br />
<br />
In 670s he provoked some raids against the [[Khazars]] and heroically died in war. Alp Iluetuer is still remembered in [[Bulgars|Bulgar]] and [[Chuvash people|Chuvash]] legend.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}}<br />

His name's correct construction must be ''Alp İlteber'' according to Old Turkic.<br />
