She came third in the SNP leadership contest won by Humza Yousaf in March.
Ms Regan said: " Sadly, it has become increasingly clear that the SNP has lost its Focus On Independence, the very foundation of its existence.
" I could not, in good conscience, continue to be part of a party that has drifted from its path and its commitment to achieving independence as a matter of urgency. "
Alex Salmond , former First Minister and Alba Party leader, said: " I Am delighted to welcome Ash Regan to team independence.
" Her commitment to The Cause of Scottish independence has never been in question, and her addition to Alba sends a powerful message about the focus and determination we bring to achieving an independent Scotland. "
In March, Ms Regan finished third in a contest to succeed Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader and Scotland's First Minister .
Ms Regan, who had always been regarded as The Outsider in The Contest , tweeted her congratulations to winner Humza Yousaf at The Time and urged everyone to " get behind Team SNP".
