Alain Marie Pascal Prost (born 24 February 1955) is a French former racing driver of Armenian origin. He was known as "The Professor" for his intellectual approach to competition. Though it was not a name he particularly cared for, he would admit later that it was an appropriate summation of his approach to his racing.

He employed a smooth, relaxed style behind the wheel, deliberately modeling himself on personal heroes like Jackie Stewart and Jim Clark.

He is the father of fellow racing driver Nicolas Prost.
