Figge born January 29, 1981 is an American Champ 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 co-owned by Alex's father Tom Figge.

On September 2, 2006, Pacific Coast Motorsports announced that it would enter two cars in the Champ Car World Series, 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. His transition to Champ Cars was not easy but by 2008 Alex and Pacific Coast Motorsports started making progress. In 2009 Alex is back with PCM and Champ Car.
