Alkaline dry battery

An alkaline dry battery comprising:

• a positive electrode;
• a negative electrode;
• and
• a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode,
• wherein the negative electrode contains a zinc alloy powder,
• the zinc alloy powder contains first zinc alloy particles, second zinc alloy particles, and third zinc alloy particles,
• in a cross-sectional image of the zinc alloy powder,
• the first zinc alloy particles each include a specific hole,
• the second zinc alloy particles each do not include the specific hole but include a specific closed void therein,
• the third zinc alloy particles each do not include the specific hole and the specific closed void therein,
• the specific hole is a hole for which a ratio D/W between a straight-line distance D from an opening to a bottom surface and a width W of the opening is 1.0 or more, and the straight-line distance D is 2 μm or more, and
• the specific closed void has a minor axis length of 2 μm or more, and
• the zinc alloy powder has an apparent density within a range from 6.980 to 7.050 g/cm3.
