Alex Figge (born January 29 1983) is an American race car driver born in Boulder, Colorado. He started racing professionally in the Star Mazda Championship, capturing one victory at Portland International Raceway in 2000 while driving for World Speed Motorsports.

He competed in the US Formula Ford 2000 championship in 2001, running with Lightspeed Motorsports and Cape Motorsports, then moved up to the Toyota Atlantic series where he finished 18th, 9th, and 7th in the standings during his three year stay from 2002 to 2004.

In 2005 he made 7 starts in the GT1 class of the American Le Mans Series as well as making his Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series Daytona Prototype class debut. In 2006 he drove a full Daytona Prototype schedule and finished 16th in driver points for Pacific Coast Motorsports, which was owned by Alex's father Tom.

On September 2, 2006, Pacific Coast Motorsports announced that it would enter two cars in the 2007 Champ Car World Series Season, one of which was driven by Alex. The team struggled a bit with the new equipment and series but they were generally on race pace with teammate Ryan Dalziel, who was let go from the team with two races remaining in the season. Figge's best finish was 8th place in the first race of the season at Las Vegas, which was fraught with attrition. Figge's struggles continued throughout the season, finishing towards the back of the field in most races.

With the early 2008 merger of Champ Car with the Indy Racing League, Figge is no longer in major open wheel racing in the U.S. Instead he joined Tafel Racing's #73 Ferrari F430 team in the American Le Mans Series' GT2 class, co-driving with team owner Jim Tafel.[1]
