Alexander Michael Warren Bowman (born April 25, 1993) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 48 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Hendrick Motorsports. He owns a Dirt Midget and Sprint car racing team, Alex Bowman Racing. He is known for a record six consecutive front-row starts in the Daytona 500, from 2018 to 2023, winning the pole in 2018, 2021, and 2023.

Bowman is known by many nicknames, the most predominant being Bowman the Showman.Denny Hamlin called him "just a hack" after late-race contact between the two at Martinsville in 2021 resulted in Hamlin being spun from the lead. Bowman would go on to win the race. Following a 2022 race at Las Vegas, Kyle Busch said Bowman was "all luck, no skill" after Bowman won the race by taking two tires on a pit stop during a late-race caution.

Bowman is set to retire from full-time competition in the Cup Series after the 2027 season.
