Alex Tyson Carey (born 27 August 1991, Loxton, South Australia) is an Australian cricketer and former Australian rules footballer. He is a wicket-keeper who plays for South Australia and Adelaide Strikers in Australian domestic cricket. 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 debut as a specialist top-order batsman in 2013, but was unsuccessful and dropped after just three first-class matches. He moved down the batting order and became a wicket-keeper, making his return to South Australia's first-class side in the 2015–16 season. In the 2016–17 Sheffield Shield season Carey was the fourth player in history to score 500 runs and take 50 dismissals in a season and broke the record for most wicket-keeper dismissals in a season with 59.
As a teenager Carey played both Australian rules football and cricket, and as he got older he started to play football at a higher level, playing for Glenelg in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) reserves competition alongside adults by the time he was 15. In 2008 Carey was included in South Australia's squad for the 2008 AFL Under 18 Championships, but he did not play a game. He was also in the AIS/AFL Academy intake for 2008. He continued to advance in 2009 and played for South Australia in the 2009 AFL Under 18 Championships in addition to winning the SANFL reserves premiership with Glenelg.
