The Alpine A526 is a Formula One car designed and built by the Alpine F1 Team to compete in the 2026 Formula One World Championship. It is the sixth Formula One car entered by Alpine since rebranding from Renault, and the first car built by Team Enstone since the Lotus E23 Hybrid (2015) to use a Mercedes power unit. It is currently being driven by Pierre Gasly, in his fourth season with the team, and Franco Colapinto, who begins his second season with the team after replacing Jack Doohan following the seventh round of the 2025 season.
