Alex Barron (born June 11, 1970) in Menifee, California) is a race car driver in the Indy Racing League. He began racing in CART in 1998 and made his first IRL start in 2001 and was the Co Rookie of the Year in the Indianapolis 500 in 2002. He has two indycar series wins, one at Nashville Speedway and one at Michigan International Speedway. In 2004 and 2005 he drove for Eddie Cheever's Red Bull Cheever Racing, and hopes to remain for 2006 despite the loss of Red Bull sponsorship for the team.

Barron succeeded in the American Toyota Atlantic series, winning that championship in 1997. In 1998, he moved up to drive for Dan Gurney's Champ Car team and stayed there in 1999 before moving to Roger Penske's team following a tragic accident that claimed the life of Uruguay's first Champ Car driver, Gonzalo Rodriguez. He drove a few events in that series in 2000 and 2001, coming close to upset victories on a couple of occasions.
