Dominique Aegerter (born September 30, 1990 in Rohrbach, Switzerland), is a Swiss Grand Prix motorcycle road racer, currently competing in the 125cc World Championship.

Aegerter started his career in motocross. Then he raced at the ADAC Pro Junior Cup 125cc Road Racing in 2003, later in 2005 he joined German Road Racing Championship racing in the IDM –series 125cc class until 2006 when he was offered by the Italian Multimedia Racing in the 125cc world chmpoinship, then he made his 125cc world championship debut in the 2006 Portuguese GP replacing his fellow Swissman Vincent Braillard for the race and the rest of the season.

Aegerter continued with the same team for the 2007 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season and still had Italian teammates Raffaele de Rosa and Simone Grotzkyj. He had a very slow start only managing to score back to back 15th place at the 2007 Catalan motorcycle Grand Prix and at the 2007 Dutch TT, and later at the wet 2007 Japanese motorcycle Grand Prix at 11th place. This championship points scoring finishes only manage he finished at 23rd place with 7 points.

For the 2008 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season, he was offered alongside Frenchman Mike Di Meglio by Ajo Motorsport to ride for them. They both accepted it, while Di Meglio has a full factory Derbi RSA 125, he uses only a standard Derbi RS 125 making him the only Derbi rider to use a standard Derbi bike. Results improved however, as he finished 16th overall, peaking with three 8th places – ahead of di Meglio in Spain, and in San Marino and Malaysia

For 2009, Aegerter stays with the team alongside Sandro Cortese. Both riders use the factory Derbi RSA 125, giving Aegeter hope for a stronger year than 2008. Sixth place in the wet at Le Mans was the highlight of the first half of the season.
