Alipurduar is a sub-divisional town of Jalpaiguri district, and is located at the eastern end of the district. The suffix "duar" (that is a door) has been added to the original name Alipur to differentiate it from the more well known Alipore in Kolkata and because it is located in the Duars region.

This town is an important division of the Northeast Frontier Railway.
