Fabian Orellana pulled a goal back for Eibar with seven minutes left but the home team held on for the points.
"The first half was ours but they scored so early in the second half and that made it hard for us," Eibar midfielder Edu Exposito said.
"Games in the second half of the season are harder," said Lucas Perez. "This was a hard-fought win for us."
Alaves move up to 13th place in the table, while Eibar remain in 16th position ahead of the rest of the weekend's games.
