Alex Debón (born 1 March 1976 in Vall d'Uixó, Valencia Spain) is a professional motorcycle road racer who currently competes in the 250cc Grand Prix World Championship.

He began racing internationally in 2000 after a handful of wildcard rides, but after several years of middling results he became Aprilia's test and reserve rider in 2006. He was promoted to a regular race ride for 2008, after some strong wildcard showings including Catalunya in 2006 [http://www.inforally.sibiul.ro/motogp-news-5368-provisional_pole_position_for_alex_debon.html] and Brno in 2007 [http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sport/sportresults/mcn/2007/august/aug13-19/aug1707brnomotogpalexdebontakesprovisional250pole/?&R=EPI-93761] .

He took his first GP win on 18 May 2008 at Le Mans in the French Grand Prix. Having qualified on pole, he correctly chose dry tyres in changeable conditions, and pulled away to a huge lead [http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/67525] - resulting in speculation that his bike may contain traction control, in preparation for Aprilia's planned MotoGP class bike. It was the 112th GP start of his career.
