Alex O'Grady (born 19 December 2008) is an Irish racing driver who last competed for KMR Sport in the GB4 Championship.
Career O'Grady began karting at the age of five, competing until 2022. In his karting career, he most notably won the Irish Cadet Championship in 2018, and won the 2019 IAME International Final in the Mini class. He then passed to Junior karts in 2021 and stayed in it for two years, most notably finishing sixth in the 2022 IAME Warriors Final.
After reaching the finals in the 2023 FEED Racing Shootout, in which he missed out on a fully-funded seat in French F4, O'Grady made his single-seater debut in that series the following year. After missing out on points at Nogaro, O'Grady took his first podium of the season at the following round at Lédenon by finishing third in race two. O'Grady repeated the same feat two rounds later at the Nürburgring, before scoring just four points finished in the following three rounds as he ended the year 12th in points. During the season, O'Grady missed many Thursday test sessions due to limited funding and faced uncertainty over his single-seater career at the end of the year.
Despite this, O'Grady moved to the GB4 Championship the following year, becoming the 20th signing on that year's grid when he joined KMR Sport. Finishing no higher than 12th on his debut round at Donington Park, O'Grady scored his first top tens the following round at Silverstone, before taking his maiden single-seater win in race one at Oulton Park. O'Grady then finished second in race two, which was his best result across the following three rounds, as he finished no higher than fifth at both Snetterton and Silverstone and no higher than sixth at Brands Hatch. O'Grady then ended the year with a third-place finish in race three at Donington Park en route to an eighth-place points finish.
O'Grady returned to KMR Sport for his sophomore season in GB4 the following year. After starting the season with a podium at Silverstone, O'Grady took his maiden win of the season in race two at Oulton Park. The Irishman followed that up with another podium at Silverstone and two wins at Snetterton, before taking three podiums in the final two rounds to clinch the GB4 title. During 2026, O'Grady also made a cameo appearance in the F4 British Championship for Rodin Motorsport at Donington Park, replacing Dries Van Langendonck, who was barred from racing for one round after accumulating 12 penalty points.
