The 1929–30 season of Alessandria Unione Sportiva's was their 14th in Italian football and their 13th in the top level of Italian championship, which in this season settled in a simple 18-teams tournament named Serie A.

The team of the 1928-29 season was almost entirely confirmed, except for the loss of Elvio Banchero, which signed for Genova 1893. The team played for the first time at the Campo del Littorio.^[1]

After the first seventeen rounds, the Grigi's held a high-levels table position; from April to June, they met 7 defeats in 8 matches, and lost touch with the first positions, occupied by Ambrosiana and Genova 1893; they finished in sixth place. So far, it is the highest result reached by Alessandria in Serie A since its foundation (both with 1931-32).^[1]

In his last season with Alessandria U.S., Giovanni Ferrari scored 18 goals.^[2]
