The status of determinations of the QCD coupling constant, alphas, at HERA is reviewed. Since jet final states provide the most relevant input to the HERA determinations of alphas, the relevant methods used in and results from jet physics are also discussed. Furthermore, HERA and world averages of alphas values are presented. Finally, the HERA-PDF 1.6 proton parton distribution function set which also uses jet final-state data is introduced.
