Alex Tyson Carey (born 27 August 1991) is an Australian international cricketer who plays for the Australian national team as a wicket-keeper-batter. Formerly an Australian rules footballer, Carey has captained Australia in ODI cricket and has served as a vice-captain in Tests, ODIs and T20Is. In domestic cricket, he plays for South Australia and Adelaide Strikers. He was the captain of the Greater Western Sydney Giants in 2010, but when they joined the Australian Football League in 2012, he was left out of the squad and returned to his home state of South Australia, where he began to play domestic cricket.
Carey initially made his domestic debut as a specialist top-order batter in 2013, but was unsuccessful and dropped. He moved down the batting order and became a wicket-keeper. Carey was a member of the Australian teams that won the 2023 Cricket World Cup and the 2023 ICC World Test Championship final.
