The Alpine A526 is a Formula One car constructed by 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 constructed by Team Enstone since the Lotus E23 Hybrid (2015) to be powered with Mercedes power. It will be driven by Pierre Gasly, who is on his fourth season with the team, and Franco Colapinto, who begins his first full season with the team after replacing former Alpine driver Jack Doohan for the rest of the season - a change first implemented at the 2025 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
