* The protagonist of ''[[CastleVania Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]''.
** Who [[OlderThanTheyThink first appeared]] in ''Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.'' His real name is Adrian Fahrenheits Tepes, and "Alucard" is an alias he took up to show that he stood opposed to [[{{Dracula}} his father]].

* ''{{Hellsing}}'''s protagonist. He's supposedly the original Dracula.

* In Hammer Production ''Dracula AD 1972'' (1972), Dracula's minion is called Johnny Alucard. Dr. Van Helsing (PeterCushing) notices the anagram only by writing it and drawing lines.

[[AC:Anime]]

* Occurs in ''TheAdventuresOfDoctorMcNinja'' with the real Dracula (although Doc notes that Ben Franklin's a moron to fall for that name).

* In the animated {{Batman}} movie ''TheBatmanVsDracula'', Dracula uses the false identity of "Mr. Alucard, anthropologist". It doesn't take that long for Bruce Wayne to see through this not-too-subtle disguise. It involves a hackneyed 'write name on object and look at it in the mirror' scene.

** Nope, Dracula himself uses this as an alias in the Bram Stoker novel after moving to England, which as original a use as you can possibly get.

A SdrawkcabName commonly used by vampires that is definitely a [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Name To Run Away From Really Fast]]. It is also something of a ShoutOut to arguably the most famous [[{{Dracula}} vampire of all time]]. Sometimes this is just used as an alias, though sometimes the vampire using the alias actually turns out to be Dracula himself. Even more commonly, the vampire in question turns out to be Dracula's son, though it's just as likely it's just their last name or a psuedonym.

* The [[UrExample original use]] of "Alucard" as a vampire's alias was in the 1943 film ''Son of Dracula'', starring Lon Chaney, Jr.

** Who [[OlderThanTheyThink first appeared]] in ''Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.''

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* Used in ''[[{{Batman}} The Batman Vs. Dracula]]''. Although Batman had to write the name on a tray and use a mirror to explain the gag. ViewersAreMorons, after all.

* ''BlazBlue'' brings us Rachel Alucard, a vampiric Elegant Gothic Lolita who has only ever bitten one person.

Currently its own section in SdrawkcabName, possibly common enough to split, will need a better title, and better description than...

* ''{{Hellsing}}'''s protagonist. [[spoiler: He's the original Vlad The Impaler/Dracula.]]
* BlazBlue brings us Rachel Alucard, a vampiric ElegantGothicLolita who has only ever bitten one person.
