In the science fiction television series ''Stargate SG-1'', the '''alliance of four great races''' was an ancient alliance of four advanced species that existed before the rise of the Goa'uld.

In the 2nd Season episode "The Fifth Race", we learn that the four races were the Ancients, who built the Stargates, the Asgard, the Furlings and the Nox.
