* ''Webcomic/TwiceBlessed'' is set in an alternate version of our world, where history was changed drastically at some point when magic was discovered by "Archmage Plato".
* ''Radioactive Panda'' makes a throwaway joke about how Creator/GeorgeLucas suffered a fatal heart attack in 1993; the characters lament that they "only" got to see Spielberg's vision of [[Franchise/StarWars the prequel trilogy]], which won 14 Oscars.
* Speaking of Creator/GeorgeLucas, ''WebComic/DarthsAndDroids'' takes place in an Alternate History where the ''Franchise/StarWars'' films were never made and instead the plot was used as an RPG campaign.
** ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' is part of a growing genre started by ''WebComic/DMOfTheRings'', which all have this trope as a basis. See CampaignComic.
** This trope is taken to extremes (and routinely extended) [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0050.html here]].[[note]]The complete list as follows:\\

* In ''Roswell, Texas'' set in 1948 UsefulNotes/DavyCrockett survived the Alamo, assassinated Santa Anna and used his influence to keep Texas an independent nation. A running gag is historical figures with very different life stories. Just a couple of examples: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meir_Kane Meir Kahane]], Malcolm Little (UsefulNotes/MalcolmX) and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lincoln_Rockwell George Lincoln Rockwell]] are all Texas Rangers. Creator/WaltDisney is President For Life of California with Marion Michael Morrison (Creator/JohnWayne) as his Army Chief of Staff
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' takes place in a world [[InSpiteOfANail more or less like our own]] in the 1800s or so, except for the presense of 'Sparks'- natural [[MadScientist mad scientists]] who are [[ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder compelled to build amazing technological wonders]] and pretty much rule the world- not very well mind you. There's at least one Spark who's noticed this and [[HunterOfHisOwnKind is trying to wipe out the rest]] (though he's understandably considered AxCrazy and not the hero). The storyline of the comic is [[WildMassGuessing theorised]] to be their world's equivalent of the Napoleonic Wars with MagnificentBastard Klaus Wulfenbach in the Napoleon role.
** Also it is hinted that the Queen of England is some kind of undead or at least immortal creature/machine, and that ''something'' happened in the Americas at some point in the past to make them effectively inaccessible.
* ''Webcomic/TemplarArizona'' takes place in, to quote the author, "a slightly irregular Arizona that fell off the back of a truck somewhere, and now all the power outlets are a weird shape and a couple of wars never happened." Specifically the titular town exists on what in our world is the Navaho Reservation, there is or was a guerilla war going on in Australia between the government and the natives and both [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greco-Roman]] and Myth/EgyptianMythology have a bigger cultural background presence.
* ''Webcomic/RumorsOfWar'' takes place in a Bronze Age world [[NamesTheSame similar to our own]] where the Trojan War was not one, but three, separate known-world-spanning affairs the left a ScavengerWorld in its wake. AWizardDidIt.
* ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}'' was revealed to be this. The point of divergence was when [[spoiler: the Roman Empire discovered the ruins of Atlantis.]]
* ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo'' Once had a storyline about Rayne writing an Alternate History book about Nazi Germany, though the main Alternate History thing about it was the SelfInsertFic part.
* ''Webcomic/{{Westward}}'' takes place in a universe where UsefulNotes/WorldWarII ended with the destruction of Berlin (and, incidentally, much of Europe) by a (''presumed'') Soviet superweapon. The UsefulNotes/ColdWar continues into the 21st century, a manned mission to Mars happened in 1974 with attempts to colonize it made by the 1980s, and FasterThanLightTravel is possible in 1999 (though [[BlackBox no-one entirely understands how it works]]). Because the webcomic's plot ultimately spreads to [[TheMultiverse other universes]], other Alternate Histories may be encountered as well.
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' presents us with a glimpse into one, in which the Uryuoms made public contact with Earth as far back as the American Revolution. One character, who has memories of that timeline, remarks that she's utterly screwed in this world's history class because of it.
* WordOfGod in author notes for ''Webcomic/AndShineHeavenNow'' reveal that the [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Millenium invasion]] caused this to happen, though she never worked out many of the details beyond UsefulNotes/BillClinton dying in office during the invasion, Gore taking office and winning in re-election, and increased security measures meant that 9/11 never happened. Oh, and vampires and zombies never became 'trends' cause so many people were affected by the invasion. So, on the bright side, no Literature/{{Twilight}}.
** She also notes that this is an alternate universe in the sense that [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]] has another planet as his favorite, as opposed to Earth in canon.
* WordOfGod is that ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' takes place in a worrld where the space program didn't go into the crapper after Apollo resulting in technology spinoffs including AI robots as a common part of society, cyborg limbs and a privately owned space station think tank.
* In ''Webcomic/TheRedStar'', a widow from an alternate Soviet Union recounts their defeat at the hands of an alternate Afghanstani. With {{Magitek}}.
* ''Webcomic/{{Hotblood}}'' is an alternate Earth where humans and centaurs live side-by-side. This trope comes in because some historical figures have been replaced with centaur equivalents.
* ''Webcomic/DreamingOfUtopia'' takes place in an alternate version of TheNineties where [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom Furries]] are a Religion instead of a Fandom. They first appeared partly as a reaction to the First World War.
* ''WebComic/{{xkcd}}'': [[https://www.xkcd.com/2149/ "Alternate History"]] discusses how, if alternate history stories can have their own ShowWithinAShow alternate histories that don't match real history either, then you could have endless iterations of alternate histories within alternate histories that keep getting weirder.
