Alex Bourret (born October 5, 1986 in Drummondville, Quebec) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward, currently playing for the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL. He was a first round draft-pick, 16th overall of the Atlanta Thrashers in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

His first season in the QMJHL was in the 2002–03 season, where he played with the Sherbrooke Castors. The team moved to Lewiston, Maine the following season. He played the next two seasons with the Lewiston MAINEiacs, where he led the team in scoring in the second year, and was selected by Maineiacs fans as the team's most popular player. Wishing to play closer to home, Bourret asked for and received a trade, as the Maineiacs dealt him to the Shawinigan Cataractes in exchange for Stefano Giliati. In 2005–06, Bourret once again led his team in scoring, with 114 points.

On February 26, 2007, Bourret was traded to the New York Rangers in exchange for Pascal Dupuis and a 3rd round pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft (Robert Bortuzzo).
