Alexis Glick (born in New York, New York on August 7, 1972) is a television personality on the Fox Business Network (FBN), where she serves as an anchor as well as the channel's Vice President of Business News.

She had worked as a temporary host for the third hour of NBC's "Today Show" in 2006. Glick was also a substitute anchor on "Early Today" in February 2005 and an occasional anchor on "MSNBC Live". Previously, Glick was a senior business correspondent for CNBC. Glick's appearances on "Today" came to an end, and she was replaced by Natalie Morales. It was announced on September 12, 2006 that Glick would be joining the Fox News Channel as Director of Business News. Glick began appearing on Fox News programming in July of 2007.

Before being removed as a contributor to "Today" in February 2006, Glick had been considered a possible heir to Katie Couric as host of "Today," a post Couric held from 1991-2006. However, Today's executive producer, Jim Bell, called such speculation "nonsense" and said that Glick's increasing face-time on the program is intended to give her greater "experience to be part of the best team in morning TV."
