轉化生長因子-α（英語：Transforming growth factor - α，簡稱TGF-α）是一小分子的多肽。可以誘導上皮發育，可以使多種細胞轉化。與表皮生長因子的氨基酸順序相似。在某些人類癌症中有上調。轉化生長因子-α是由巨噬細胞,腦細胞和表皮細胞產生的。

與表皮生長因子類似，轉化生長因子-α通過與細胞表面的受體表皮生長因子受體(EGFR)結合而起作用。^[1]^[2]與表皮生長因子受體的高親和力結合，激發受體內在的酪氨酸激酶的活性，從而啟動了信號傳導級聯而導致多種生物化學變化，細胞內鈣水平上升, 增加糖酵解與蛋白質合成, 增加某些基因(包括表皮生長因子受體)的表達, 最終導致DNA合成和細胞增殖。
