Alice Cook is a former American figure skater. She competed in pair skating with William Fauver. In 1976, they won the silver medal at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, and qualified to compete at the 1976 Winter Olympics, where they finished 12th. They placed 9th at the 1976 World Figure Skating Championships.
Following her skating career, Cook became a television sports reporter, working for WBZ-TV in Boston, Massachusetts since 1984.

After winning the Action for Children's Television award, two Service to Children awards from the NAB, in addition to several Parents' Choice Awards for the program "Rap Around," a kind of forum for teens to talk about the issues and matters that affect them, Cook won the Gracie Award (named for Gracie Allen), given for excellence in portraying women in a positive light, for a segment on Mari-Rae Sopper, a former gymnast killed in the 9/11 incident.
Also, Cook is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Boston College where she earned a bachelor of arts degree in history and speech communication. She currently lives with her husband and children in the Greater Boston area.
