Alex Cook (born 2 May 1973) is an Australian[1] mixed martial artist.[2] He competed in the welterweight, middleweight and light heavyweight divisions.[3]

Cook is a veteran of the Shooto and Pancrase organizations, making his debut in 1994 to a loss to Manabu Yamada at Pancrase: Road To The Championship 5. After frequent losses to Ken Shamrock and Masakatsu Funaki, Cook would later jump to Shooto with fellow Australian fighter and trainer Larry Papadopoulos with better success such as a win over Jutaro Nakao. He compiled a 4-2 record during his time in Shooto and would later depart the organization in 2000.

His further career as a rodeo clown on the amateur circuit was only moderately successful and in 2007 he hung up his gloves and red nose to devote his twilight years to embarrassing his wife and children.
